Traditional LTL Shipping
CargoQuotes connects you with a strong network of LTL carriers, giving you the flexibility to choose the best shipping options. LTL shipping is perfect for businesses transporting freight that doesn’t fill an entire truck trailer. You only pay for the trailer space your freight occupies, making it a cost-effective solution for smaller shipments. Factors such as shipment size, weight, freight class, and accessorial charges (like liftgate service or inside delivery) influence LTL freight rates. CargoQuotes also offers custom solutions and special services to meet your unique shipping needs. Easily quote, book, and manage your LTL freight shipments through our platform. Whether your shipment is time-sensitive, price-sensitive, or requires a specific delivery window, you can select from multiple options that balance service, price, and timing.
Volume Pricing for Larger Shipments
If your shipment is too large for traditional LTL but not enough to fill an entire truck, our volume pricing programs provide a perfect bridge between LTL and full truckload (FTL) shipping. With FTL shipping, your freight occupies the entire space of one truck and stays on the same truck for the entire journey, offering faster transit and added security for large or urgent shipments. Best of all, you can get volume pricing options alongside your traditional LTL quote for maximum convenience.
Expedited LTL Shipping
Need faster delivery than traditional LTL can offer? CargoQuotes provides expedited LTL options within our carrier network and beyond, ensuring your freight arrives when you need it. Guaranteed delivery services are available for urgent shipments requiring a reliable delivery window.
LTL Shipping to Mexico
CargoQuotes arranges LTL shipping to Mexico for freight that does not fill a full trailer. Your pallets move with other shippers’ freight to the border, cross with the right customs paperwork and continue to the delivery point in Mexico. You pay only for the space your freight uses.
Cross-border LTL takes more planning than a domestic LTL move. Accurate weights, freight class, a commercial invoice and coordination with customs brokers on both sides of the border all help your freight clear without delays. For a deeper look at documents, tracking and pricing, see our cross-border LTL freight services page.
We also arrange LTL freight into Canada and full loads across the border when your volume grows. Learn more about our cross-border freight shipping services or our full truckload freight quotes.
How to Get an Accurate LTL Freight Quote
An accurate LTL freight quote starts with accurate shipment details. Small errors in weight or size can lead to re-weigh or re-class charges after pickup. Have these details ready when you request a quote:
- Pickup and delivery ZIP or postal codes
- Number of pallets or pieces, with weight and dimensions for each
- Freight class or a clear description of the commodity
- Accessorial services, such as liftgate, inside delivery or a residential stop
- Ready date and any delivery window you need
With these details, CargoQuotes compares options from multiple LTL carriers and shows you choices that balance service, price and timing. Call 1-816-524-7500 if you need help finding your freight class.
Tips to Keep Your LTL Costs Down
A few simple steps can help you avoid surprise charges on your LTL freight. Stack and wrap pallets securely so they ship as one solid unit, and label every piece clearly. Measure and weigh your freight before you book, since carriers may re-weigh and re-class shipments. If your load is close to a full trailer, ask about volume pricing, which can cost less than a standard LTL rate.
