Truckload Freight Solutions
When it comes to Truckload shipping, finding the right carrier can be difficult. You need a carrier that values accuracy, punctuality, and is capable of shipping your goods to where they need to go. At FreightCost, we find the FTL carrier that not only delivers on multiple fronts but uses cost-effective methods and works to limit their carbon footprint.
Truckloads are typically large shipments over 150lbs and are the most efficient option if your shipments utilize most or all of the shipping space. This kind of shipment typically remains in the same truck until it reaches its destination. By remaining on the same truck and not getting transferred from truck to truck, you are saving money. Truckload carriers offer several means of transporting your goods including dry vans, flatbeds, and refrigeration.
LTL - Less Than Truckload Solutions
LTL which stands for Less Than Truckload is a great choice for transporting small freight under 150lbs. LTL is also ideal for companies that need to ship goods often and at varying times. There are multiple LTL carriers and many of them are unexpected such as FedEx. If you have time-sensitive goods to deliver, you can ship them at your convenience and don’t have to wait until you have a truckload of products.
Your LTL shipments will rely heavily on the shipping network. Some LTL networks can take up to 10 days to deliver while others will get your goods and products to their destination the very next day. At FreightCost, it is our job to identify your company’s unique needs and to come up with solutions that meet your needs and demands.
Warehousing and Distribution
Here at FreightCost, we own multiple warehouses located in strategic points across the country to help our clients with their warehousing and distribution needs. Storing your goods and products closer to where they are most demanded, helps you lower your shipping costs. If you choose to use us as your warehousing and distribution solution, you will have access to our warehouses.
Intermodal Freight Solutions
Intermodal freight shipping is the use of two modes of freight to transport your products and goods. If you have a shipment that needs to go across the country, this would be an ideal solution for your shipping needs because it saves money. This is possible because the railway is typically used for long-distance shipments and trains are more fuel-efficient than trucks.
With FreightCost, we will help you determine the best way to get your products and goods to where they need to go. If intermodal freight transportation can save you money on shipping and get your goods to their destination on time, we will get you set up for shipping with a network that best suits your needs.
