Freighting has always been at the heart of Extreme Packing Solutions. It branches into several different categories depending on the type of freight it is. Moreover, it is of paramount importance to comply with the requirements and regulations of the US authority on freight and shipping.
5 Freight Shipping Methods
1.Expedited
The most expensive yet, highly suitable for time-sensitive freight shipping delivery is the expedited method. It uses transport modes such as trucks or airplanes.
2.Partial Truck Load
It is a delivery of freight in the form of 6 to at least 12 pallets. After the inventory, the logistics company directly ships freight without the need to switch between any trucks.
3.Less-than-Truckload (LTL)
LTL shipping method implies the switching of trucks during the freight transit from one place to another. The pallets consisting of the inventory (generally e-commerce) are 1 to 6.
4.Full Truckload (FTL)
A container of 24 to 26 pallets of inventory via road or rail is another freight shipping method (direct shipments, but large ones).
5.Intermodal
Variation of rail and road trucks in this freight shipping method allows the company and the customer to save on costs.
Why Should You Use Freight Shipping Company?
There are numerous potential benefits of using a freight shipping company. Some of them are as follows:
- Costs savings
- Time savings
- Energy efficiency
- Environmental friendliness
- Less paperwork
Factors to Consider When Picking a Freight Shipping Company
Firstly, extensively heavy freights are impeccably difficult to ship on your own. Besides, who would want to spend so much time arranging transportation requisites?
The freight sizes are not always easy to accommodate, along with a shipping method. For example, an oversize freight is usually over 96 inches. Sometimes, an excellent shipping company can prove worthwhile by providing shipping for such oversized freights.
A prominent factor to consider is the trust and authenticity of a freight shipping company. It suggests the quality of their service. You might not be willing to let someone else handle your freight, especially if it includes precious or highly-sentimental value goods. Hence, a trustworthy and highly secure user shipping company should be your choice.
Export shipments are a plus from many freight shipping companies. However, keep in mind that compliance with export rules is vital. Once you ensure compliance, you will be able to transport your personal or commercial goods safely.
The fragility of your freight is the responsibility of the shipping company. Normally, freight shipping companies offer services for all fragile goods. Nonetheless, keep an eye out for the ratio of “fragile-goods” complaints to the company.
