LTL Freight Shipping Blog

When your business relies on getting the merchandise that you sell to your customers on time or at least within at least a reasonable amount of time, you have to know that the LTL companies you are going to hire are capable of making it happen. This means that you are going to need to spend a little extra time researching them carefully so that you find those that can meet your needs.

In the world of LTL freight you are going to find that there are those LTL companies that you can rely on to get your freight delivered and those that have little to no interest in doing any more than taking your money and delivering your freight when they are good and ready. At LTL Freight Shipping we have spent years developing a network of highly reliable LTL freight carriers that will provide you with top quality services every time you need to make a shipment.

When I hire an LTL trucking company to carry my LTL shipment or will it be handled by several different carriers before it reaches its destination? It really depends on what you are shipping, where it is going and what type of shipping arrangements you have made with the carrier. In most cases your shipment will be carried by one company from your docks to your customer.

However, there are times when you may need to make arrangements for an over the road carrier to deliver your shipment to the nearest local depot and then use a local carrier to make the final delivery. This is known in the business as zone skipping and while not all carriers will do this, you will find that if necessary LTL Freight Shipping can help you find carriers that will work with you in any way they can to make sure your load is delivered.

Because we work with so many carriers and move tremendous amounts of freight, we are able to secure their services at steeply discounted prices.
