LTL Freight Shipping Blog

One of the first questions that always gets asked when a company starts looking for an LTL trucking company is whether or not the company they are going to be dealing with is going to guarantee their LTL freight quote. This is only normal as no one wants to end up paying more for shipping than they were originally quoted.

At LTL Freight Shipping the LTL freight quote that you receive is guaranteed to be good as long as the original conditions are met. These are that the details of your shipment at the time it is picked up must be the same as they were when you requested the quote. If any changes are made to the weight, size, and description of the goods to be shipped or the address to which they will be shipped is different, the quote will no longer be valid and a new one will need to be calculated based on the changes you have made.

One of the more frequent questions that come up regarding LTL trucking companies is whether they are all smaller trucking companies that no one has ever heard of. Or are some of them bigger names in trucking that are willing to haul smaller loads? You might be surprised to learn that although a large number of LTL carriers are smaller trucking outfits, a large number of well-known large trucking companies carry smaller shipments as a way to keep their trucks full and their profits up.

At LTL Freight Shipping we have put together a network of LTL trucking companies that is dedicated to providing shipping for small loads for small and medium businesses. Every one of these trucking companies has been thoroughly prescreened to ensure that they handle the size of load that you are trying to ship and that your freight will arrive in good condition.

If you are running a small or medium sized business, chances are good that you will probably never have a big enough shipment to take up an entire trailer. This means that you can save money by using a Less than Truck Load or LTL carrier to handle your shipping needs. However, you are not going to be able to pick up your local yellow pages and find an LTL shipping company listed in them.

At LTL Freight Shipping noticed this problem several years ago and decided that it was time to do something about. In response to this call for reliable LTL carriers we have created a nationwide network of carriers that are used to working with businesses just like yours to provide door to door shipping services for any load of 100 to 10,000 pounds and up to six pallets at prices that you are going to be able to afford.

Will My Shipment End Up Stranded if I Use LTL Carriers? One of the biggest reasons so many companies are afraid to use LTL carriers is the fear that their shipments are going to end up being left sitting in a warehouse or on a loading dock for weeks instead of moving on down the […]

Just as you would expect with any transportation service, an LTL trucking company will pick up your freight right off of your loading dock and deliver it to anywhere in the country. However, while both FTL and LTL companies will carry your freight to anywhere, there is a big difference in the way that they […]
