How much does it cost to ship LTL freight?

LTL freight rates vary based on a number of factors including the type of freight being shipped (freight class), as well as its dimensions and the distance it will travel. LTL shipping  allows multiple shippers to share space on the same truck. It is cost efficient, with multiple companies paying for their portion of trailer space.

How do I prepare my LTL shipment?

LTL shipments  can be handled multiple times before reaching their final destination. It’s important to load the goods onto pallets or crates so chances of damage are minimized. To fully prepare an LTL shipment you should be taking a close look at the dimensions, documentation, packaging and labeling, and how to properly load and unload the shipment.

What are the LTL freight size limitations?

In most regions, freight loads that are wider than 8’ 6″ or taller than 13’ 6″ are considered oversized freight. These types of shipments will require special equipment. LTL shipments are typically shipped on pallets. Be aware of the correct pallet size needed for your shipment.
