LTL shipping, answered

An LTL rate is built from your lane, the shipment's freight class, its weight bracket, the current fuel surcharge, and any accessorials (liftgate, residential, inside delivery). Because carrier pricing is negotiated, two shippers moving identical freight often pay very different amounts — which is exactly why comparing carriers on one screen saves money.

No. Enter your pallet dimensions and weight and we calculate density and the NMFC class for you. If you already know the class or NMFC item, you can enter it and we'll use yours — some commodities carry a fixed class regardless of density.

Yes. Quoting is completely free with no account, credit application, or minimums. You only pay for a shipment when you choose to book one, at the rate you were quoted.

National carriers including FedEx Freight, Old Dominion, XPO, Estes, SAIA, R+L Carriers, TForce, ABF, Averitt and Southeastern, plus strong regional carriers on lanes where they win on price or transit time — 50+ in total.
