Frequently asked questions
What is a Bill of Lading (BOL)?
The bill of lading (BOL) works as a receipt of freight services, a contract between a freight carrier and shipper and a document of title.
How do I determine freight class?
There are 18 freight classes. They are determined by weight, dimensions, density, storage capability, ease of handling, value and liability from instances like theft, damage, breakability and spoilage.
What is temp-controlled shipping?
If you have goods that are sensitive to climate conditions (produce, flowers, chocolate, etc.), you will want to consider temperature controlled shipping.
How should I package my items?
When shipping goods, it’s always important to minimize movement. Pack crates or boxes as full as possible, with heavier items on the bottom. If the crate is not filled, use packing material to plug the empty spaces.
Do I need LTL or full truckload?
LTL is typically ideal for freight shipments larger than parcel or small package, but short of the space required of a full truckload shipments.
