When obtaining freight rates for dry freight, having a customer representative who knows the various types of transport equipment is an integral part of obtaining the best freight rate. If the incorrect trailer is being used, you could wind up paying a much higher cost.

We pride ourselves on customer service, and want our customers to save money when possible. Hence, knowing the right trailers to use, the most efficient routes, and constant communication are all very important factors for us. Take a look at the diagram below, as it will be our starting point as they are the two most common types of dry freight trailers.

 

Full Truckloads (FTL) usually give you full access to a truck dedicated to transporting only your freight, and typically, the rate is per mile. So, as described above, if your freight will not completely fill up a fourty-eight foot trailer, you may want to inquire about the possibility of LTL rate quotes. We simply want to transport freight for you in the most efficient manner; so, knowing the number of pieces / pallets, and the weight of your commodities is an important piece of information we will be asking.
