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's the difference between direct service vs. interline lanes
When utilizing carriers designated with "Direct" next to the quote, your shipment will be serviced by the chosen partner LTL carrier for the entire duration of its journey. The partner carrier will be responsible for the pickup, linehaul transit, and final delivery of your shipment. You can expect uninterrupted updates on the status of your shipment with direct service.
When utilizing carriers designated with "Interline" next to the quote, your shipment will be serviced by the primary partner carrier and additional partner carriers for a portion of the transportation. It is common for quotes within this service level to include a range of transit days, typically 7-14 business days, to accommodate for the transfer between carriers. Please note that complete tracking information may not be immediately available at certain stages of the shipment's journey. Additionally, the proof of delivery will be received later than that of a shipment utilizing a "Direct" partner carrier.
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.
