Integrated quotes provide a seamless overview of rates and services tailored to your specific shipment requirements. It's essential to recognize that these shipments, serviced outside our local networks, rely on our trusted nationwide LTL partners. Rates for each carrier are displayed in ascending order of price, ensuring you can easily compare and select the most cost-effective shipping option for your needs.

Please note: Transit times for integrated shipments are estimates. For time-sensitive freight, opting for a service with guaranteed delivery is strongly advised to ensure punctuality.

Service options

Standard service

Basic LTL shipping that treats your freight with the care and attention it deserves, just like any other shipment. All available LTL carriers are presented in ascending order by price, making it easy to choose the best option for your needs.

Guaranteed service

A service where our LTL national carrier partners guarantee your delivery date, with eligibility for partial refunds if the delivery is late. This option ensures your freight receives priority handling for expedited service.

Booking tips:

  • Ensure your shipment is booked by the daily cut-off time of 5-6 PM for guaranteed next-day delivery.

  • Note that certain additional services may affect eligibility for guaranteed delivery.

  • Freight weighing between 10,000 to 20,000 lbs+ might not qualify for guaranteed service.

What is dedicated service

An exclusive service where the entire trailer is reserved for your freight alone, ideal for items requiring extra security or care, such as fragile goods or valuable artwork. Dedicated service maximizes security and handling care, eliminating the risk of damage or loss.

What's the difference between direct service vs. interline lanes

When your shipment requires the involvement of more than one carrier, it will be indicated as utilizing an “interline lane.” This collaboration ensures efficiency and coverage across various segments of your shipping journey.

How do transit times work?

The transit times provided during the quoting process are based on estimates and calculated in business days. They generally exclude weekends, holidays, and the days of pick-up and delivery. This approach helps set realistic expectations for the arrival of your freight.

A note about carrier selection

If a carrier is not shown among the options for your shipment, it means they cannot service the quoted shipment. Their logo will appear above "Carriers unable to service this shipment." Clicking on "See why" provides reasons for their inability, such as geographic limitations or capacity constraints, ensuring shippers understand their shipping options clearly.
