LTL is great when you have one or two pallets. Partial truckload is the answer when you have 6+ pallets and don't want to play the freight class lottery. We quote both side by side so you pick the cheaper, faster, less-handled option.
We quote with major LTL carriers (XPO, Saia, ODFL, Estes, R+L, Southeastern) and give you the actual shipper rate, not a marked-up "discount" off a fake list price.
Partial means we put your freight on a 53' van with one or two other shippers' loads. Less handling, fewer damage claims, faster transit. Often cheaper than volume LTL when freight class is messy.
If either side needs a liftgate, residential delivery, inside delivery, or appointment - say so up front. Surprises after the BOL is signed cost everybody money.
LTL pricing is based on density and class. Send the actual numbers, not "a pallet or two." If the freight is loose, tell us how it's stacking.
"Auto parts" can be class 70 or class 200 depending on density. Get it right or expect a reclass invoice 30 days later.
