Q: What are the differences between FTL Services and LTL Services?
R: FTL stands for Full Truckload. A shipment that is over 10,000lb or takes up an entire truck by itself is considered a Full Truckload. One of the main characteristics of FTL Services is that it will take your shipment on a long haul, making one trip from point A to Point B without transferring the cargo.
LTL stands for Less Than Truckload. If you have 200 pounds of freight to transport, you’ve got an LTL shipment. It takes just a section of the truck, and the cargo is safely consolidated with other shipments that may be picked up and distributed in the same area.
Q: Do you have packaging or assembly services?
R: We DO NOT offer packaging or assembly. The client should provide the cargo ready to be loaded and unloaded on the trucks. Also, clients are responsible for all loading and unloading of cargo.
Q: What are you allowed to carry?
R: We can carry pretty much anything… The only things we do not carry are hazardous materials, oversize loads, and perishables.
Q: Are you insured?
R: YES we are insured – $1,000,000
Q: Do you provide skids, pallet jacks, lift gates, and shipping pads?
