How Do I Get an Estimate for a Shipment?
If you need a shipment estimate, the first step is to give us a call. We’re happy to speak with you over the phone and go over the information we need to be able to get you an accurate quote. We’ll need to know the product type, dimensions, weight, as well as any additional details.
What’s the Difference Between Less-Than-Truckload and Full Truckload? Which One Do I Need?
Less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping is when your freight only needs a portion of the truck space. On the other hand, full truckload (FTL) shipping is when your load fills the truck.
LTL trucking is perfect for small and medium-sized cargo that doesn’t require specialized care, and it is a cost-effective option. Our team recommends FTL trucking for larger shipments or fragile, temperature-sensitive freight.
How Should I Package My Items?
Depending on the items, packaging can differ. We recommend using shipping-grade boxes, crates, or containers specific to your industry. For heavier items, we always suggest double boxing just in case. It’s essential to cushion the contents, seal all closures, and label each item with the appropriate information.
Most commonly, freight is either palletized or loose. Smaller items are often palletized, while larger ones remain as-is. During the quote process, we’ll establish what’s best for your cargo, and we’ll ensure everything is shipped safely and securely.
What Is Temperature-Controlled Freight Shipping?
Temperature-controlled freight shipping is specialized transportation in refrigerated and insulated trucks. This way, if you deal in perishable goods or products that are sensitive to heat, you can rest assured knowing that they will remain in their pre-shipped condition. Sound good? Let's get started!
