How Do I Arrange for an LTL Shipment?

This entry was posted on February 10, 2012

“I own a company that tends to make a number of small shipments to customers who are located all over the country. The problem is that we never make any that are big enough to justify leasing an entire truck. We have heard about LTL shipping, but need to know how we go about arranging for an LTL shipment. I already know that these loads must be more than 100 pounds and less than 10,000 pound and will only occupy a portion of a truck.”

If you are getting ready to ship an order using LTL freight shipping and have never used this type of service before, you may want to know before you make the final arrangements for a carrier to transport you shipment whether or not your LTL freight quote is guaranteed. You need to know if it will change once the order is picked up by the carrier.

Only Changes in Your Shipment Will Change Your LTL Freight Quote

You will find that the LTL freight quote we arrange for you is guaranteed to stay the same under certain conditions. The details of the shipment when it is picked must be the same as they were when you requested the quote.
