Navigating the world of shipping can be complex, but at Mothership, we simplify the process with our direct and integrated shipment options. Each is designed to meet specific logistic needs, offering flexibility and efficiency for your freight requirements.
What defines a direct shipment?
Direct shipments are characterized by two main categories:
Less-than-truckload (LTL) freight within a Mothership local zone
These shipments benefit from the convenience of being picked up and delivered within our designated local zones. Upon booking a direct shipment, Mothership promptly dispatches a carrier to your location via our user-friendly mobile application.

Integrated shipments refer to Less-than-truckload (LTL) freight moving outside our local zones, handled by our network of trusted national carriers.
