It’s that time of year again when the snow starts to melt and we begin to thaw after the long, cold winter. Not only are we starting to thaw out, but so are the roads. This is when cities and counties start to have weight embargoes on specific roads. These roads are usually restricted during the months of March, April, and May. We would like your help in identifying these areas so that we can make arrangements for alternate delivery sites.

It is up to your buying club to notify the warehouse if your delivery site is currently being restricted due to a weight embargo, and to have an alternate delivery site selected to receive your orders during the time of the embargo.

Our drivers will not be able to drive on these restricted roads, so if arrangements have not been made for an alternate site, the driver will not be able to deliver and will return to the warehouse with your product. This could possibly result in a restocking fee of 10% charged to your buying club. We understand that this can be problematic for all parties concerned, which is why it is important for you to get in touch with us at least a few weeks before you order so we can work out the logistics of your delivery. Please contact the warehouse that you receive delivery from if you have any changes due to weight restrictions on your road.
The contacts are as follows:
