The weight and dimensions of your freight should include all items, packaging, skids, and pallets included in the shipment.
Use only the packaging you need to keep the items secure. Don’t overdo it and add unnecessary weight to your load because it will affect the price.
Make sure your cargo is packaged securely to avoid any damage while in transit.
You can go straight to a freight carrier to get a quote or use a 3PL that lets you compare quotes from multiple carriers.
Residential shipping with Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) is a great alternative to hiring movers, but you need to talk to a carrier to ensure they offer residential service and determine what the cost would be.
Less than truckload (LTL) shipping allows multiple shippers to share space on the same truck, which can be cost-effective for small to medium-sized shipments. However, if you have a shipment that fills an entire truck, FTL will be cheaper and more direct.
