You should check on the location and status of your shipment frequently to stay on top of any potential delays, so you can adjust your expectations and adapt your supply chain, if necessary.
Packaging your freight correctly is the best way to protect your items from damage and make them easier to transport.
Partnering with a 3PL gives you access to a team of freight shipping experts and technology that can make your LTL experience smooth and efficient.
The average cost for LTL shipments will vary depending on the carrier, freight class, and other factors. Many LTL shipments will cost between $0.22 and $0.42 per pound, while some will fall into a wider range of $0.10 to $0.75 per pound.
The first and most universal way to track your shipment through your LTL carrier is by using the bill of lading (BOL) number. Every BOL issued has a unique number assigned to it, and entering the BOL number into most LTL carriers’ websites will provide the shipment’s most recent logged location.
LTL freight does not deliver on the weekends, so keep that in mind when planning your shipments. Expedited and guaranteed LTL freight can move on the weekends, but standard LTL does not.
