Below is a weather update from Midwest Motor Express:
Good morning
We will see another day full of unsettled conditions moving across our MIDW system. Weather impacts for today will hit us with some rains, T-storms, smoke, haze, and a few hot and humid spots. Some of those conditions may cause minor delays for Wednesday Pickup & Delivery operations and Wednesday night into Thursday morning LH inbounds, but we are not expecting any major delays due to today’s forecasted weather. Please be sure and communicate any delay info in positive and proactive fashion with staff and customers. See weather and delay details below.
The following may not affect you, but I wanted to let you know that there could be service delays on shipments that are meant to go through the Interstate 70 area that was affected by the Colorado mudslide. We do not service this area ourselves, but our agent RACP does this area for us. They are imposing an accessorial of $25.00 to cover the additional cost they will be incurring with the Interstate 70 closure due to the mudslide in Colorado. The assessorial will be $25 and will go in place on August 3, 2021. The accessorial will remain in place until Interstate 70 opens to tractor-trailer traffic, this will be attached to the ZIP Codes served out of the terminals in Basalt, Grand Junction, Montrose, and Newcastle. This also does include the Vail Valley, I have attached a list of ZIP Codes from RACP that will be automatically assessed the charge. The CO governor has said it will take weeks to be reopened, please be patient with us and our agent until it is cleared up. MIDW is not changing anything in our system for the affected areas in CO. This segment is strictly as information only to you.
