Freight delivery is responsible for handling all domestic and international shipping affairs for consumers and businesses. Find out how it can be an asset to your business in the breakdown below.

What Is Freight Delivery?

Freight delivery transports items via truck, train, ship, or air across the world. Whether it's used for moving business operations to another location, transporting goods, or providing supply chain management for clientele, freight shipping is a foundation for domestic and international business operations.

What Are the Benefits?

Freight shipping accommodates large quantities of items. Not only does it beat physically transporting items yourself, but it also provides safety and assurance. Most carriers provide insurance to ensure goods arrive at their destination on-time without damage. You’ll also save on shipping costs when you find a reliable carrier for repeat business. 

How Can You Get Started?

How many bulk items you need to ship will determine your truckload size. "Less than truckload," or LTL, is for shipments anywhere between 150 to 15,000 pounds, perfect for e-commerce or small-scale businesses. On the opposite spectrum, "Full truckload," provides the ability to ship goods over 15,000 pounds.

Once you figure out your desired shipping container, you can choose a delivery speed. Expedited freight delivery is the fastest and most expensive method for time-sensitive shipments. If time isn't an issue, intermodal shipping could be for you; your items will be transported by a variety of shipment methods, like boat and truck.
