Spotlight Corner

Veteran driver Shirley Schumacher knows the importance of a friendly smile. Barry Cosey of Columbia Helicopter states, "It's always a pleasure to see Shirley on our dock. Her professional and friendly manner just makes the day better!"

While Shirley was managing the Bearings Warehouse she became familiar with Jet's services and was impressed by the quality, from the drivers' positive attitudes to the on-time service performance.

When it came time for a change in 1997, Shirley jumped on board with Jet and has been a dependable, hard-working employee since.

When Shirley is not on the road, she turns to her creative side using her natural-born talents (she received an education scolarship from the Portland Art Museum during her school years). Designing and developing event decor is her specialty, whether it is a small reception or large wedding.

Jet Expedited is proud to have an employee like Shirley representing us every day! Thank You Shirley!

What is Dimensional Weight?

Dimensional Weight or "Dim" Weight is a standardized formula used throughout the freight industry that takes into account the dimensions or density to determine the correct charge. Jet Expedited Transport charges either the weight of a shipment, or its dimensional weight, whichever is higher. The industry standard Dimensional Weight Factor of 194 is used in the calculation. This means that for each 194 cubic inches, one pound will be assessed. The Dimensional Weight Factor can be different depending on the carrier and other factors affecting the shipment.
