LTL Shipping

Partial LTL Shipments
  • Individual and small to medium sized companies
    face the predicament of having to arrange
    shipments that will allow them to be profitable
    and still get their freight delivered in a timely
    manner. To do so, shippers typically spend hours,
    if not days searching for carriers that will best
    suit there needs, as well as their budgets.

3
  • Instant Freight Quotes, through its large network
    of LTL Freight carriers is able to utilize our
    deeply discounted rates to pick up freight from
    multiple customers via numerous carriers. Our
    freight carriers then transport these items to
    their local terminals, and consolidate freight
    that is traveling in the same general direction.
    These smaller LTL shipments are then loaded onto
    trucks that will deliver to their destination
    terminals.

4
  • They are then dispatched for delivery to their
    individual shipment destinations. Instant Freight
    Quotes has a large database with access to over
    65 different quality freight companies and always
    places you with the safest most cost effective
    and time sensitive way to handle your freight.

Less-Than-Truckload or LTL
  • (LTL) shipping is the transportation of
    relatively small freight or individual freight
    items less than 350 square feet of trailer space
    combined.

  • ALL ITEMS MUST BE IN BOXES OR CRATES IN ORDER FOR
    THE FREIGHT TO BE ACCEPTED BY THE CARRIER.
  • YOUR FREIGHT MUST BE PACKAGED APPROPRIATELY AND
    DOCKSIDE OR AN EASLIY ACCESSIBLE LOADING AREA AT
    TIME OF PICKUP.
  • IN MOST CASES YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO LOAD AND
    UNLOAD YOUR FREIGHT. THE DRIVER MAY ASSIST IN
    LOADING/UNLOADING, BUT IS NOT REQUIRED TO DO SO,
    AND YOU MAY INCUR ADDITIONAL CHARGES FOR SUCH
    HELP IF USED.

7
  • HEAVY ITEMS MAY REQUIRE LIFT GATE SERVICE IF NO
    DOCK FACILITIES ARE AVAILABE WHICH IS ALSO AN
    ADDITIONAL CHARGE.PICKUPS ARE DONE BETWEEN 12PM
    AND 5PM WEEKDAYS. DELIVERIES ARE USUALLY IN THE
    AM. DATES AND TIMES ARE ALWAYS ESTIMATED AND NOT
    GUARANTEED, SO ALWAYS ALLOW FOR LEEWAY ON

Formula to acquire square footage and pounds per
cubic foot
  • TO FIGURE OUT THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF YOUR FREIGHT,
    THE FORMULA IS LENGTH X WIDTH X HEIGHT DIVIDED
    BY 1728 EQUALS THE SQUARE FEET OF THE ITEM. FOR
    MULTIPLE ITEMS JUST REPEAT FOR EACH ADDITIONAL
    ITEM, THEN ADD TOTALS, THE SQUARE FOOTAGE WILL BE
    THE TOTAL OF ALL ITEMS COMBINED.

10
  • T0 FIGURE POUNDS PER CUBIC FOOT, DIVIDE THE TOTAL
    WEIGHT OF ALL ITEMS BY THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE
    (AS FIGURED ABOVE). THIS WILL GIVE YOU THE TOTAL
    POUNDS PER CUBIC FOOT.

11
  • IF A SHIPMENT IS PALLETIZED, THE DIMENSIONS AND
    WEIGHT AND THE DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT OF THE
    PALLET MUST BE USED TO DETERMINE DENSITY. FOR
    EXEMPLE, A PALLET THAT IS 6 INCHES HIGH PLUS A 22
    INCH CARTON HAS A TOTOL HEIGHT OF 28 INCHES.  THE
    WEIGHT MUST ALSO INCLUDE THE WEIGHT OF THE
    PALLET, IN ORDER TO BE TOTAL WEIGHT.
