Submitting an accurate description of your shipment when you get your quote is critical if you want to avoid additional charges on your freight invoice. The weight and dimensions should include all items, packaging, skids, and pallets used.
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.
Freight terminals, or carrier terminals, are facilities where carriers can consolidate and organize shipments to be routed to their final destinations. Carriers have thousands of freight terminals across the country used for this purpose, and most of them can be used as places where shippers can drop off or pick up their shipments. Picking up or dropping off shipments at a freight terminal can save time and provide flexibility for shippers, and can save money on accessorial fees that may be required for a home or business delivery.
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.
