Never shipped LTL freight before? Not to worry, most of our customers are new to shipping!  That’s why our LTL freight quote specialists pride themselves in knowing as much as possible about LTL freight so that we can provide you with the best quote possible.

To get the most accurate LTL freight quote you will need to know the following information:

  1. The pickup zip code
  2. The delivery zip code
  3. The product being LTL freight shipped
  4. The weight of the LTL freight shipment
  5. The dimensions and piece count of the shipment
  6. Is there a dock or a fork lift at pickup and delivery
  7. Are the pickup and delivery locations both businesses

 

Here are a few questions to ask the pickup and delivery locations before you schedule your LTL freight shipment

  1. Can a 53’ trailer fit in each location?
  2. Does the LTL freight carrier need to schedule a pickup and/or delivery appoint met at either location?
  3. Are there pickup or invoice numbers LTL Freight should ask the driver to reference when he arrives to pickup your LTL freight shipment?

Please contact our LTL freight quote specialist when you are ready to get a quote for your next LTL shipment.

 

Many of our customers at CheapShipping.com purchase their LTL freight in online auctions, from sites like Ebay or liquidation centers.  These shipments require only a little more planning than the shipment going from one business to another.

Here are some things to think about when setting up your LTL pick up from an online auction:

  1. Make sure you know the weight and dimensions of the item you are purchasing.  Without this information our quote specialists will not be able to get you the most accurate rate.
  2. Will a pickup number be required for the driver to pick up the freight?
  3. When you are ready to schedule your pickup make sure you have the seller’s name, business name and phone number.  The driver may need to contact the pickup location to make an appointment or get directions.

If you have purchased something large online, LTL freight shipping is an excellent and inexpensive way to ship your new purchase.  Please contact us to get an LTL freight shipping quote on your LTL freight shipment our team will ensure you get an accurate LTL freight quote and your LTL freight shipment runs smoothly!
