Can Qeep cover a same-day automotive expedite if a supplier misses a milk-run?+
Yes. Our automotive desk maintains pre-positioned expedite capacity — including sprinter vans and straight trucks — on high-risk OEM lanes. We target wheels-rolling within 90 minutes of an emergency call. Most of our tier-1 clients carry a standing expedite authorization with us for exactly this scenario.
How do you handle EV battery shipments that require Class-9 DG documentation?+
We manage the full DG compliance package: UN 38.3 test summary verification from the shipper, correct outer-packaging confirmation, ERG placard selection, shipping paper preparation under 49 CFR 172.200, and driver endorsement audit before dispatch. Our carriers hold active state and federal DG transport permits for lithium batteries.
Do you support maquiladora in-bond (IMMEX) freight between Mexico and the US?+
Yes. Our Mexico cross-border desk handles IMMEX in-bond documentation, coordinates transfer carrier handoffs at Laredo and El Paso, and files Pedimentos on the Mexican side. We work with customs brokers on both sides of the border under a single Qeep file, so you have one point of contact for the entire cross-border move.
How do you manage returnable rack and dunnage flows?+
We integrate with your existing returnable asset management system via EDI 856 or API to track container status at every handoff — pickup, in-transit, delivery, and empty return. Reconciliation reports are available in our portal weekly, and our ops team flags any shortage before it impacts production.
What is your process for JIS sequenced delivery to an OEM assembly line?+
We receive the OEM’s production sequence file (typically via EDI 862 or supplier portal), load it into our TMS against the carrier’s departure template, and dispatch in the exact sequence required by the line. Our dispatcher monitors GPS position of the truck relative to the plant’s dock schedule and calls the driver if spacing drifts outside tolerance.
What coverage do you have for Canada-US automotive cross-border lanes?+
We operate bonded carrier lanes daily on the Windsor-Detroit, Sarnia-Port Huron, and Niagara corridors — the three highest-volume automotive border crossings in North America. Our ACE and ACI filings are handled in-house, and all carriers in the network are C-TPAT and PIP validated for trusted-trader expedited clearance.
