LTL (Less Than Truckload) and FTL (Full Truckload) are two fundamental shipping methods.

LTL (Less Than Truckload) - Your shipment shares trailer space with other customers' cargo. LTL is anywhere from 150 to 10,000 pounds.

FTL (Full Truckload) - Generally speaking, you're taking up the full truck.

Our freight logistics team can analyze your shipping patterns and recommend the optimal solution.

Freight class is a standardized classification system (from 50 to 500) established by the National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) that determines LTL shipping costs. Understanding freight class helps you get accurate quotes and avoid reclassification charges.

Freight class is determined by four main factors:

• Density: Weight per cubic foot (most important factor—higher density = lower class)
• Stowability: How easily items can be arranged with other freight
• Handling: Ease or difficulty of loading/unloading
• Liability: Risk of damage, theft, or perishability

To calculate density: Multiply length × width × height (in inches), divide by 1,728 to get cubic feet, then divide weight by cubic feet. For example, a 500-pound pallet measuring 48"×40"×48" has a density of 12.5 lbs/cubic foot, typically falling into class 85-92.5.

Common classes include: Class 50 (densest items like bricks), Class 100-150 (machinery parts, furniture), Class 200-300 (auto parts, electronics), and Class 400-500 (least dense items like ping pong balls). Our team helps you properly classify your freight to ensure accurate pricing and avoid surprises.

Accessorial charges are additional fees beyond the base freight rate for special services or circumstances that require extra time, labor, or equipment. Understanding these charges upfront helps you budget accurately and avoid unexpected costs.

Common accessorial charges include:

• Liftgate service: When delivery location lacks a loading dock ($75-150)
• Inside delivery: Bringing freight inside beyond the threshold ($75-200)
• Residential delivery: Delivering to non-commercial addresses ($85-175)
• Limited access: Schools, churches, construction sites, secure facilities ($75-150)
• Redelivery/storage: When recipient isn't available ($100+ per day)
• Appointment delivery: Scheduling specific delivery windows ($50-100)
• Notify before delivery: Calling ahead for confirmation ($25-50)

Other charges may apply for detention (driver waiting time), reconsignment (changing destination), or reweigh/reclassification fees if shipment details were inaccurate. We provide transparent quotes that include all applicable accessorials based on your specific delivery requirements, so there are no surprises on the final invoice.

Yes, we facilitate international shipping through our network of trusted freight forwarders and customs brokers. While our primary focus is domestic freight, we can coordinate seamless international shipments to and from major markets worldwide.

Our international shipping capabilities include:

• Ocean freight: FCL (Full Container Load) and LCL (Less than Container Load)
• Air freight: Expedited international delivery for time-sensitive shipments
• Customs clearance: Documentation and brokerage services

• Import/export compliance: Ensuring regulatory requirements are met

We handle all coordination with international carriers, manage documentation (commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin), and navigate customs procedures. Our team can advise on Incoterms, duty calculations, and the most cost-effective routing for your international freight. Contact our logistics specialists to discuss your international shipping needs.

We provide real-time tracking for all freight shipments through multiple convenient methods. Visibility into your shipment's location and status is essential for planning and inventory management.

Track your shipment through:

• Online portal: 24/7 access to shipment status and location updates
• Email notifications: Automatic alerts for pickup, transit milestones, and delivery
• PRO number tracking: Use your unique shipment number for instant status
• Customer service: Call or email our team for detailed shipment information
• Mobile updates: Access tracking from any device

You'll receive your tracking number (PRO number) immediately after pickup, along with estimated delivery date. Our system updates in real-time as your freight moves through our network. For critical shipments, we offer enhanced tracking with driver contact information and GPS coordinates. If any delays or issues arise, we proactively communicate and provide solutions to keep your supply chain moving.

Our freight claims process is designed to be straightforward and fair. While we take every precaution to prevent damage or loss, we stand behind our service and have a clear procedure for resolving any issues that may occur.

Filing a freight claim—step by step:

• Note damage immediately: Inspect freight upon delivery and note all visible damage on the delivery receipt (BOL)
• Document thoroughly: Take photos of damage, packaging, and labels from multiple angles
• Preserve packaging: Keep all original packaging materials and damaged freight for inspection
• Submit claim promptly: File within 9 months of delivery, but sooner is better (concealed damage within 5 days)
• Provide documentation: Include BOL, photos, invoice showing freight value, and repair/replacement estimates

Once received, we acknowledge claims within 30 days and work toward resolution within 120 days. Claims are settled based on the declared value and our cargo insurance coverage. We may arrange for inspection of damaged items. Our goal is fair, prompt resolution. To minimize claims, we recommend proper packaging, accurate freight classification, and appropriate declared value at the time of shipping.

Yes, we are equipped and certified to handle hazardous materials (hazmat) shipments in compliance with DOT regulations and industry safety standards. Our team includes certified hazmat specialists who ensure safe, compliant transportation of dangerous goods.

Additional fees apply for hazmat handling due to specialized training, equipment, and documentation requirements. Contact us with your specific materials and we'll provide guidance on proper shipping procedures.

Transit times vary based on origin, destination, service type (LTL vs. FTL), and current capacity. Our extensive carrier network allows us to provide competitive transit times to all major markets across the United States.

Typical transit times from our hub locations:

• Regional (within 500 miles): 1-2 business days
• Mid-range (500-1,200 miles): 2-4 business days
• Cross-country (over 1,200 miles): 4-7 business days
• Coast-to-coast: 5-8 business days standard LTL

FTL shipments generally transit faster due to direct routing without terminal stops. For example, a dedicated truck from East Coast to West Coast typically takes 3-5 days. These are estimated transit times—actual delivery dates depend on pickup day, weather, traffic, and capacity.

We provide specific transit time estimates with every quote based on your exact origin and destination. For time-critical shipments, ask about our expedited and guaranteed delivery options that offer faster service with committed delivery dates.

Yes, we offer multiple expedited shipping options for time-sensitive freight, including guaranteed delivery services with committed delivery dates and times. When you absolutely need your freight to arrive by a specific deadline, we have solutions to meet your requirements.

Expedited freight services include:

• Hot Shot / Same-Day: Immediate pickup and delivery, typically via sprinter van or straight truck
• Overnight / Next-Day: Delivery by next business day for urgent shipments
• Guaranteed LTL: Committed delivery date with penalty-free refund if late
• Time-Critical FTL: Dedicated team drivers for continuous transit
• White Glove Service: Expedited with special handling and inside delivery

Expedited services come at a premium due to dedicated equipment, priority routing, and service guarantees. Costs vary based on distance, freight dimensions, and delivery timeframe. For critical shipments—whether it's machinery parts for a production line, medical supplies, or trade show materials—our expedited team ensures on-time delivery. Contact us to discuss your timeline and we'll recommend the most cost-effective expedited option that meets your needs.

Fuel surcharges (FSC) are variable fees that adjust freight costs based on fluctuating diesel fuel prices. These charges ensure carriers can cover fuel costs without constantly changing base freight rates. Understanding FSC helps you anticipate total shipping costs.

How fuel surcharges are calculated:

• Index-based pricing: FSC is tied to the DOT National Average Diesel Fuel Index, updated weekly
• Percentage of base rate: Calculated as a percentage of the line haul charge (typically 15-30%)
• Threshold pricing: Based on a baseline fuel price; surcharge increases as fuel prices rise above baseline
• Separate line item: Always shown separately on invoices for transparency

For example, if diesel averages $4.00/gallon and the baseline is $3.00/gallon, a surcharge applies based on the difference. If your freight charge is $500 and the FSC is 20%, you'd pay an additional $100 in fuel surcharge, totaling $600.

We provide current FSC rates with all quotes and update them according to market conditions. Our pricing is always transparent—you'll see exactly what you're paying for fuel adjustments. For contract customers, we can discuss FSC caps or alternative pricing structures to provide budget predictability.
