Moving your truckload shipments and delivering results with our size and scale.

Truckload shipping is the primary mode of over-the-road trucking. It suggests transporting freight in quantities that fill an entire truck trailer. Depending on the shipment type, full truckload shipping has many modes and uses various trailer types, including:

• Dry Van
• Flatbed
• Refrigerated
• Specialized
• Intermodal
• Multimodal
• Drayage

Usually, standard truckload trailers can haul up to 43,000 – 45,000 lbs and are recommended for shipments that weigh more than 15,000 lbs, or consist of more than 10 pallets.

Truckload shipping is the great option for shippers who have a large volume of freight, and need to ship long distances. In that case, full truckload is the best option in terms of costs, speed, and reliability.

How are full truckload shipping rates formed?

Truckload shipping rates are usually more stable than less-than-truckload rates. However, the variety of factors that form truckload quotes can still make the rates variable. There are many aspects that determine truckload shipping rates, including:

• Origin and destination
• Freight type
• Lane
• Season
• Fuel costs
• Additional charges
