What Is Freight Shipping?
Freight shipping is the transportation of larger quantities of goods — typically palletized or crated — by truck. It is commonly divided into:
• Less‑Than‑Truckload (LTL) — Cost‑effective for smaller shipments that don’t require a full trailer; multiple customers share space on the same truck.
• Full Truckload (FTL) — For larger shipments or when you need an entire truck, ensuring direct transit and minimal handling.
Types of Freight You Can Ship
• Palletized goods
• Industrial equipment
• Commercial products
• Building materials
• Packaging supplies
• Bulk goods and raw materials
• Oversized and heavy cargo
Palletized & Crated
Standard pallets, mixed SKUs, and crated commercial products ready for cross‑dock or direct delivery.
Industrial & Building
Industrial equipment, components, packaging supplies, and construction materials.
Oversized & Heavy
Large, heavy, or permit‑required freight handled by experienced carriers.
