Transportation You Can Count On!
How your item is transported is important!
Rarely do trucking companies pickup at your door and go directly to the destination address. Instead, your shipment will go to a local warehouse or transfer facility where it will be unloaded from the pickup trailer, and sorted based on its final destination. Once sorted it is loaded onto another trailer along with other shipments heading the same direction. So when deciding on a which company to use, whether direct or through a freight broker, know that you can trust in the transportation.
Ground Freight
Any item(s), TL or LTL that does not require high speed or overnight delivery times are best shipped by ground freight. Ground freight provides services that average 3 to 10 days depending on the pick up and delivery points.
EngineShipping.com uses only the very best companies providing ground freight services from and to any point within the United States. All requests for freight quotes are welcome. Some restrictions on size, location or destination. You'll find our agents knowledgeable and helpful.
LTL Freight
Less Than Truckload freight is the most common freight shipped via ground, air, or ocean. LTL shipments typically weigh between 100 and 10,000 lbs. Less than truckload carriers collect freight from various shippers and consolidate that freight onto enclosed trailers for linehaul to the delivering terminal or to a hub terminal where the freight will be further sorted and consolidated for additional linehauls. In most cases, drivers make deliveries first, then begin making pickups once the trailer has been emptied. That is why most pickups are made in the afternoon and most deliveries are performed in the morning. *
TL Freight
Full truckload carriers normally deliver a semi trailer to a shipper who will fill the trailer with freight for one destination. After the trailer is loaded, the driver collects the required paperwork (i.e. Bill of lading, Invoice, and Customs paperwork) and depart with the trailer containing freight. In most cases the driver then proceeds directly to the consignee and delivers the freight him or herself. One advantage Full Truckload carriers have over Less than Truckload carriers is that the freight is never handled en route, whereas an LTL shipment will typically be transported on several different trailers

More often than not you will realize a big savings by dealing with a freight broker instead of contracting directly with a trucking company. Brokers can instantly shop the marketplace and obtain lower rates for you than if you tried to hire a trucking company yourself. However, in doing so, you want to make sure that the broker is maintaining a trustworthy relationship with the trucking company that is being used.
