All shipments begin and end with a truck visiting a loading dock, and here's a rundown of our road transport options:
Flatbeds ....
We're ready to ship via a variety of flatbed carriers, including those with
decks free of walls and/or ceilings to streamline loading and unloading. We can
get it all for you: step decks, lowboys, hot shots,
double drops and
conestogas.
Full Truckloads (FTL) ....
If large shipments of merchandise are involved, we can transport your cargo in
sealed containers to ensure it is not handled while in tight-capacity transit.
Full truckloads (TL, FTL or FCL) give you exclusive use of equipment, and sealed
trailers are ideal for fragile and or valuable merchandise.
Less than Truckloads (LTL) ....
Sometimes you require service for shipments which do not fill a whole truckload.
Fortunately, there are specialized carriers for these instances.
Less-Than-Truckload or LTL trucking providers use the National Motor Freight
Classification (NMFC) to determine the class of commodities being shipped using
a shipment or commodity's weight, density, value, stow-ability and ease of
handling.
Partial Truckloads ....
This program is for you if you're shipping valuable or fragile cargo and need
the security provided by the exclusive use equipment but would like to avoid
paying for an entire truck. This arrangement allows our shippers to load their
partials on a truck with merchandise that belongs to other shippers headed in
the same direction. The merchandise is not touched again until it reaches your
customer's door step. This method provides the cost savings one expects from LTL
carriers and the security provided by full truckload carriers - you get the best
of both worlds!
We're also particularly skilled in the following areas:
Time-Critical Projects ....
Air freight or ground freight, we have the resources to manage your time
critical shipments. When you need to move cargo on short-notice and tight
delivery deadlines, we use direct, responsive relationships with experienced air
carriers as well as a vast network of cargo vans, straight trucks, flat beds and
53'/48' trailers. When capacity is tight, our excellent credit rating and
established relationships with carriers gives our clients the competitive
advantage you need.
Tradeshow Shipments ....
Our future depends on our client's confidence in our ability to move their trade
show exhibit freight on time without incident. That's why we give trade show
shipments highest priority. Our devoted team of specialists will not rest before
your shipments arrives according to schedule.
