Costa Rican Shipper Signs on with Real Time Freight

Real Time Freight’s First Partner in Central America

CHICAGO, IL – March 30, 2009 - Real Time Freight Services, LLC announced today that they signed up their first shipper from Costa Rica, La Paz CR-EX. Although most RTF shipper customers are located in the Unites States or Canada, any company who ships product in North America can take advantage of the Real Time Freight Network. La Paz recognized Real Time Freight’s ability to help them move loads at great rates, and the system has already helped them expand their shipping market by finding new transportation partners to ship into new markets. The ease of use and the minimal time to implement their RTF Network was a huge plus for La Paz. “We hope we can help spread the word of Real Time Freight here in Costa Rica. It has been a nice help for us,”said Olman Bricceno, Director of Transportation. Real Time Freight will continue to market in Costa Rica, as well as into Mexico.

About La Paz CR-EX

La Paz CR-EX was started in 2006, and they ship Mangoes, Melons, Papaya, and Pineapple. Most Costa Rican companies are owned and operated by men, and most companies are funded by foreign capital, both of which are different with La Paz CR-EX. The company was founded and started with 100% Costa Rican capital and is owned and operated by Costa Rican Women. Because local growers have a history of being ripped off by producers, La Paz entered the market with a idea to pay fair prices, thus giving them a market edge of having year round supply chain sustainability. They are currently getting new certificates for US markets to expand both their product line and customer base.
