Additional data for your recommendation is below: The products are primarily medium- and large-size in" rel="nofollow">insulated coolers, like you might use for a picnic or trip to the beach. Each cooler occupies 2 cubic feet of trailer truck space; trailers are 10 x 10 x 40’ long and cost $1,000 to ship from the East Coast to the West Coast.

The raw materials to make this product are bulky, and in" rel="nofollow">inbound shippin" rel="nofollow">ing from the suppliers to the manufacturin" rel="nofollow">ing plant represents 20% of total raw material costs. These raw materials are supplied in" rel="nofollow">in the United States from the East Coast; they are not available elsewhere. In the past, to keep West Coast customers happy, the CEO agreed to freight equalize customer shippin" rel="nofollow">ing charges to be competitive with West Coast competition. She says that they only charge those customers the local freight cost of shippin" rel="nofollow">ing, which is $200 per delivery for anythin" rel="nofollow">ing up to half-truckload quantities.
