The first step is determining if your “item” would be considered a “small package” or “LTL” (Less Than Truckload). Generally if your item is 60 lbs. or less, you may want to ship it as “small package”. In that case we suggest using USPS, UPS, or FedEx. If your item is heavier than 60 lbs. or too large in size to be shipped via one of the small package carriers, LTL is the route to take. We would be happy to answer any questions you may have and help you determine what the most cost effective method of shipping will be for your specific item.

Added services such as lift gate, inside delivery, appointment/time critical delivery, and residential pick up and/or drop off can also affect the total cost. We will always provide you with a quote so you will know the total cost of shipping in advance.

This is your typical 53’ box semi-trailer.
This is a “Dry Van” with a temperature controlled atmosphere. This type of trailer is used when shipping anything that requires a consistent temperature. For example, frozen goods, live sod/turf, or chemicals that must be protected from temperature extremes.
Although the most common size of a flatbed is 48’x 102” wide you can also find them as short as 40 feet and as long as 53 feet. Flatbeds are generally used when shipping tall freight, over length or width freight or freight that requires loading from the side. Here are a few examples of Flatbed trailers: Flatbed, Drop Deck, Double Drop Deck, Lowboy, Conestoga Flatbed, and RGN.
Pretty much the same thing. Skids/Pallets are usually 40×48 or 48×48 inches and are used to carry the freight that’s being shipped. Skids/Pallets allow forklifts to move the freight from trailer to trailer as it makes it way to its destination.
Shipments that require a full 48’ or 53’ trailer whether it’s flatbed, dry van, or refer.
The NMFC is a standard that provides a comparison of commodities moving interstate. It is similar in concept to the groupings or grading systems that serve many other industries. Commodities are grouped into one of 18 classes from a low of class 50 to a high of class 500. The classifications are based on an evaluation of four transportation characteristics: density, stowability, handling and liability. Together, these characteristics establish a commodity’s “transportability.”

This is when you have two drivers for one truckload. Team drivers are used when freight needs expedited as it allows the truck to move 24/7. Normally hours of service for a single driver carrying property are 11 consecutive hours driving and a mandatory 10 consecutive hours off duty. With a team driver one drives with the other is resting keeping the truck constantly in route.
