Lone Star Overnight Introduces Multi-Package Shipment Rating Option

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lone Star Overnight (LSO), a Texas-based regional overnight package delivery company, is introducing a competitive multiple-package shipment rating option. Effective today, shippers may choose LSO’s new Multi-Pak^SM pricing for multi-package shipments destined for the same address.

The Multi-Pak option is available on all qualifying ground domestic shipments throughout the LSO delivery area, which includes the entire state of Texas; Oklahoma; western Louisiana; eastern New Mexico; and Texarkana, Ark.

While most national small-package ground carriers require a 200-pound minimum for their multi-package pricing, LSO’s Multi-Pak option will be available for shipments weighing just 100 pounds or more. Additionally, the assessorial fees associated with Multi-Pak, including residential fee maximums, are priced lower than those of national competitors.

“Lone Star Overnight is determined to provide the best service options on our home turf of Texas and Oklahoma,” said LSO’s Vice President of Sales Lynn Perucca, a sixth-generation Texan. “Introducing the Multi-Pak option is just one more way that we’re continuing to enhance our reliable, efficient overnight delivery service. This rating choice will help our customers to avoid higher LTL and package costs.”

To complement its overnight ground service area in Texas that extends further than those of national carriers, LSO is also deploying the latest scanning and GPS technology for state-of-the-art package tracking and routing visibility.
