Four Reasons Freight Costs You More Than It Should
No Local Point of Contact
When something goes wrong, you are on hold with a call center that has no relationship with your business.
Retail Rates With No Leverage
Without negotiated contracts, you pay the spot rate every time. That spread costs thousands per year.
Slow Quote Turnaround
Waiting 24 to 48 hours for a quote that may not be accurate when the truck shows up is not a logistics partner.
Reweigh and Reclass Surprises
Wrong freight class on the BOL means the carrier adjusts the rate after pickup. Surprise charges hit your invoice weeks later.

Same-Day Quote Turnaround

Operations ManagerManufacturing Supplier, Elizabethtown KY“The rates came in lower than what we were getting direct and the quote turnaround was same day. Having a local contact when issues come up is something we did not realize we were missing.”

Freight Questions, Answered
- Freight class is an NMFC (National Motor Freight Classification) code from 50 to 500. It is calculated from density, stowability, handling, and liability. If you are not sure, leave the field as 'Not sure' on the quote form and our team will help you classify based on the commodity description and dimensions. We use C.H. Robinson's density estimator to give you the most accurate class before the truck arrives.
- LTL (Less than Truckload) means your freight shares space on a trailer with other shippers. Best for 1 to 6 pallets or 150 to 15,000 lbs. FTL (Full Truckload) means you reserve the entire trailer. Best for high volume, time-sensitive moves, or shipments where you want direct routing with no terminal handling. FTL is faster but costs more per shipment; LTL has lower cost per shipment but longer transit and more handling.
- Most LTL quotes come back within 2 business hours. Truckload and expedited quotes within 4 business hours. We pull rates from the C.H. Robinson carrier network, which means same-day responses on the vast majority of standard lanes.
- No. You can ship a single shipment or set up ongoing freight without any contract or minimum commitment. Volume customers benefit from negotiated rates over time, but there is no annual or monthly commitment to start.
- Carrier liability applies to all shipments. If you notice damage at delivery, note it on the delivery receipt before signing. Our team handles the claims process with the carrier on your behalf, including documentation, photos, and reimbursement coordination. Concealed damage discovered after delivery should be reported within 15 days.
- Yes. All standard accessorial services are available: residential pickup or delivery, liftgate service at either end, inside delivery, appointment scheduling, and limited access. These charges are quoted upfront before you approve so there are no surprises on the invoice.
