Fort Smith, Ark. and Colorado Springs, Colo. (January 24, 2007) – USA Triathlon and ABF U-Pack Moving have renewed their marketing partnership for the 2007 season. As the exclusive transportation provider, ABF U-Pack Moving will assist the USA Triathlon in moving triathlon equipment throughout the country.
“We are pleased to assist USA Triathlon move race gear and equipment again for the 2007 USA Triathlon season.” said Kay Lynn Clay, Manager of Business Development for ABF U-Pack Moving. “The ReloCubeTM containers, measuring 6’x7’x8’, are just the right size for moving gear and bikes to any race destination.”
Tim Yount, Senior Vice-President of Marketing and Communications for USA Triathlon noted, “With events throughout the country, USA Triathlon needed an efficient, reliable transportation provider. The U-Pack service fits our needs perfectly.” The partnership includes discounted moving services to all association members for out-of-state moves. This discount can be used for moving race gear or a traditional household move.
ABF U-Pack Moving operates with the simple promise of “We Drive, You Save.” The company delivers a full size trailer or a ReloCube to your home for loading. Customers have two business days to load. ABF U-Pack Moving picks up the trailer or ReloCube, drives the shipment to the final destination for unloading. Extended storage is also available with a ReloCube move to allow riders the ability to pre-ship their gear, so they can have it immediately to use when they arrive.
ABF U-Pack Moving is a service of ABF Freight System, Inc.®, one of North America’s oldest and largest motor carriers.
ABF Freight System, Inc. is the largest division of the Arkansas Best Corporation (NYSE:ABFS), a publicly traded less-than-truckload carrier.
