LTL shipping involves a lot of moving parts that can cause potential delays. This makes it difficult to rely on estimated transit times, so it is important to keep track of your shipments.
Filling out freight paperwork accurately will help keep your shipment from getting lost, misidentified, or delivered to the wrong location.
There are many factors that can cause delays during shipping, including weather, traffic, accidents, or human error, so always have a backup plan.
Typical LTL shipments are comprised of between 1 and 12 pallets, and usually weigh between 150 and 10,000 lbs.
LTL shipments usually range anywhere from 150 lbs to 10,000 lbs and are grouped together and transported on one trailer with the cargo of other shippers.
When looking at LTL transit times, it's important to remember is that they are estimates, not guarantees. When you receive a quote from a carrier for an LTL shipment, the estimated transit time given is not guaranteed and may be subject to any number of delays that can affect the actual amount of time it takes for the shipment to arrive at its destination.
