Road Freight FAQ Common Questions
Question: What factors determine the final cost of a road freight shipment?
Answer: The final cost is calculated based on several key variables to ensure fairness and accuracy. Primary factors include the distance between the origin and destination, the total weight and dimensions of your cargo (which determines the space it occupies in the vehicle), and the specific service type required (e.g., standard FTL, expedited LTL, or specialized refrigerated transport). Additional costs may apply for services such as liftgate delivery at locations without a loading dock, inside delivery, or requirements for special handling of hazardous materials. We provide detailed, all-inclusive quotes with no hidden fees, allowing for precise budgeting.
Question: How does your company ensure the safety and security of my cargo during transit?
Answer: Cargo security is our highest priority. We employ a multi-layered approach starting with our highly vetted and professionally trained drivers who are experienced in secure driving practices and cargo handling. Our fleet is equipped with advanced GPS tracking and geo-fencing technology, allowing us and you to monitor the shipment's progress in real-time. For physical security, we use tamper-evident seals on all containers and trailers. Furthermore, we partner with secure parking facilities for overnight stops and offer comprehensive cargo insurance options to protect against any potential loss or damage, providing you with end-to-end peace of mind.
Question: What is the difference between Less-than-Truckload (LTL) and Full-Truckload (FTL) services, and how do I choose?
Answer: The choice between LTL and FTL hinges on the volume and urgency of your shipment. Full-Truckload (FTL) is designed for shipments that occupy an entire trailer, typically over 15,000 pounds or 10 or more pallets. FTL offers direct, non-stop routes from origin to destination, resulting in faster transit times and less handling, which reduces the risk of damage. Less-than-Truckload (LTL) is cost-effective for smaller shipments that do not require a full truck. Your freight is consolidated with other shipments heading in a similar direction. While LTL is more affordable for smaller loads, it involves multiple handling points and hub transfers, which can slightly extend the transit time. We recommend FTL for large, time-sensitive, or fragile shipments, and LTL for smaller, cost-conscious consignments.
