Before you request a quote

Shipper Checklist (LTL)

Confirm pallet count, weight, and dimensions (L/W/H)
Identify packaging type (palletized, crates, cartons)
Note pickup/delivery constraints (dock vs ground, limited access)
Confirm if appointment or liftgate is needed
Provide commodity description and any handling notes
Share estimated pickup window and delivery constraints

Pro tip: If dimensions are unknown, send photos + pallet footprint. We’ll help estimate.

What impacts cost

Pricing Drivers Explained (with Examples)

LTL pricing is typically influenced by dimensions/weight, accessorials, lane demand, and service level.

Example 1: A liftgate requirement at delivery can change the rate compared to dock delivery.

Example 2: Accurate dimensions reduce re-quotes and invoice changes later.

Note: Charges may change if shipment details or accessorial needs differ from what was provided.
