Freight Shipping Services for Every Load
From a single pallet to oversized machinery — we match you with FMCSA-verified freight carriers who have the right equipment, insurance, and safety record for your shipment. FTL, LTL, flatbed, reefer, expedited, and intermodal.
Full Truckload (FTL) Shipping
Dedicated carrier, fastest transit, maximum protection
When your shipment fills a trailer — or when you need dedicated capacity without sharing space — FTL is the most efficient way to move freight. A single carrier picks up at your dock and delivers direct to the destination with no terminal stops, no rehandling, and the shortest transit time available.
Ideal For
Shipments over 10,000 lbs, 6+ pallets, time-sensitive freight, high-value cargo, or loads where reducing handling and damage risk is critical.
Typical Rates
$1.50–$3.50 per mile (varies by lane, season, and equipment)
Transit Time
~500 miles/day average. Coast-to-coast in 4–5 business days.
Key Features
- Up to 45,000 lbs capacity per load
- Door-to-door service with no terminal transfers
- Dry van, flatbed, and reefer trailer options
- Fastest transit times — direct routing with no stops
- Lower damage risk — single-shipper, single-handler
- Real-time GPS tracking from pickup to delivery
Less Than Truckload (LTL) Shipping
Share space, reduce cost, ship smarter
LTL freight shipping lets you share trailer space with other shippers — you only pay for the space your freight occupies. This makes LTL the most cost-effective option for palletized shipments that don't require a full trailer. Rates are based on your freight class, weight, and distance.
Ideal For
Shipments from 150 lbs to 15,000 lbs, 1–6 pallets, shipments where cost matters more than speed, and regular scheduled shipments to consistent destinations.
Typical Rates
Priced per hundredweight (CWT) based on NMFC freight class. Use our freight class calculator to estimate your class.
Transit Time
2–5 business days typical. Add 1–3 days over FTL for hub transfers.
Key Features
- Pay only for the space you use — shared trailer capacity
- Palletized freight from 150 lbs to 15,000 lbs
- NMFC freight class and density-based rating
- Liftgate, inside delivery, and residential options
- Scheduled pickups with appointment windows
- Hub-and-spoke network with nationwide coverage
Flatbed & Oversized Freight Shipping
Open-deck hauling for heavy, wide, and non-standard loads
Flatbed shipping is required when your freight won't fit inside a standard enclosed trailer — steel coils, lumber, heavy equipment, machinery, construction materials, and anything oversized or overweight. We coordinate flatbed, step deck, and RGN (removable gooseneck) carriers with permit and escort services for loads that exceed standard dimensions.
Ideal For
Steel, lumber, concrete, heavy machinery, construction equipment, industrial components, and any freight requiring top or side loading that can't be palletized into an enclosed trailer.
Typical Rates
20–40% premium over dry van FTL rates due to securement requirements and specialized equipment
Transit Time
Similar to FTL transit times. Oversized loads may require route surveys adding 1–2 days for permit processing.
Key Features
- Flatbed, step deck, RGN, and double-drop trailers
- Oversize and overweight permit coordination
- Load securement with tarps, chains, straps, and blocking
- Pilot car and escort vehicle arrangement
- Route surveys for wide or tall loads
- Carriers experienced in construction, steel, and heavy equipment
Refrigerated (Reefer) Freight Shipping
Temperature-controlled carriers for cold chain compliance
Reefer freight shipping maintains precise temperature control from pickup to delivery — critical for perishable food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and any temperature-sensitive commodity. Our reefer carriers are FSMA-compliant with continuous temperature monitoring and pre-cooling capabilities.
Ideal For
Produce, frozen food, dairy, beverages, pharmaceuticals, vaccines, chemical compounds, and any commodity requiring temperature control between -20°F and 65°F during transit.
Typical Rates
15–30% premium over dry van FTL rates for temperature-controlled equipment and monitoring
Transit Time
Same as FTL transit times. Time-sensitive perishables can be paired with expedited service.
Key Features
- Multi-zone temperature settings from -20°F to 65°F
- FSMA and FDA food safety compliance
- Real-time temperature monitoring with alerts
- Pre-cooling and continuous temperature logging
- Pharmaceutical GDP-compliant cold chain options
- Expedited reefer available for time-sensitive perishables
Expedited Freight Shipping
Time-critical delivery when your supply chain can't wait
Expedited freight uses team drivers, dedicated vehicles, and guaranteed delivery windows to get your shipment there as fast as possible. When a production line is down, a customer is waiting, or a deadline is non-negotiable — expedited freight is the answer. Same-day, next-day, and guaranteed-window options available.
Ideal For
Emergency shipments, production-down situations, JIT manufacturing shortages, retail out-of-stock recovery, trade show freight, and any load where delivery time is more important than cost.
Typical Rates
40–60% premium over standard FTL rates for dedicated capacity, team drivers, and priority routing
Transit Time
Team drivers cover ~1,000 miles/day. Same-day available for short hauls. Coast-to-coast in 2–3 days.
Key Features
- Team drivers for non-stop transit — no mandatory rest delays
- Dedicated vehicle — your freight is the only freight on board
- Guaranteed pickup and delivery windows
- Hot shot, sprinter van, and straight truck options
- 24/7 dispatch with real-time GPS updates
- Same-day and next-day delivery available
Intermodal Freight Shipping
Rail + truck for long-haul cost savings
Intermodal freight combines rail and truck for shipments over 500 miles where cost savings outweigh transit time. Your freight travels by rail for the long-haul segment and is drayed (trucked) from the origin to the rail terminal and from the destination terminal to the final delivery point. Intermodal can save up to 30% compared to over-the-road FTL.
Ideal For
Consistent, high-volume freight on lanes over 500 miles where transit time is flexible. Best for planned shipments with 5+ day lead times. Not ideal for time-sensitive or fragile freight.
Typical Rates
Up to 30% cost savings vs. over-the-road FTL on lanes over 500 miles
Transit Time
Add 2–4 days over FTL for rail transit and drayage connections. Best for planned, non-urgent freight.
Key Features
- Rail + truck for optimized long-haul lanes over 500 miles
- Up to 30% cost savings vs. over-the-road truckload
- Lower carbon footprint per ton-mile than trucking
- 53-foot containers with COFC and TOFC options
- Drayage coordination at origin and destination rail terminals
- Ideal for consistent, high-volume, non-time-sensitive freight

Freight Shipping Service FAQs
What is the difference between FTL and LTL shipping?
FTL (Full Truckload) provides a dedicated trailer for your freight — you pay for the entire truck. LTL (Less Than Truckload) shares trailer space with other shippers, so you only pay for the space you use. FTL is faster with lower damage risk, but LTL is more cost-effective for smaller shipments under 10,000 lbs.
How do I know if I need FTL or LTL?
If your shipment is over 10,000 lbs, fills more than 6 pallets, or is time-sensitive, FTL is usually better. Under 10,000 lbs with flexible timing? LTL saves money. For shipments between 6,000–15,000 lbs, compare both — sometimes FTL is cheaper than LTL at higher freight classes.
How much does flatbed shipping cost?
Flatbed shipping typically costs 20–40% more than standard dry van FTL due to specialized equipment and load securement. Additional costs may include oversize/overweight permits, pilot car escorts, tarping, and route surveys for wide or tall loads.
What temperature range do reefer trailers maintain?
Standard reefer trailers maintain temperatures from -20°F to 65°F with multi-zone capabilities. Modern units provide continuous temperature monitoring and logging, required for FSMA compliance on food and GDP compliance on pharmaceutical freight.
How fast is expedited freight shipping?
Expedited freight with team drivers covers ~1,000 miles/day (vs. ~500 for standard FTL). Same-day available for short hauls. Coast-to-coast in 2–3 days. Hot shot and sprinter van options for smaller urgent loads.
