Utilizing a common carrier to ship large surface freight shipments is an excellent method and widely used method to ship both household goods and general freight shipments. Pricing can be very attractive when shipping full or volume (usually at least 1/4 of a trailer) loads on a per foot/per mile basis compared to less than truckload (billed by the piece and weight) shipments. Volume quotes can be very reasonably priced and should not be overlooked. A volume quote is when you have less than a full trailerload, but more than a few pieces. The trucker commits to a fixed pricing for a given amount of space in the trailer, and usually places a bulkhead or divider behind your shipment to seperate it from other shipments.
28, 40, 45, and 53 foot enclosed trailers and flatbeds can be delivered directly to your dock or home, loaded by you, and picked up by the common carrier going to your destination. Once the truck arrives at the destination your shipment is scheduled for delivery by truck to your residence or place of business. Common carrier freight shipments are extremely reliable, time sensitive, virtually damage free, and reasonably priced. Let Moveamerica determine the best combination of price and service for your large shipment needs.
Surface freight is usually the mode of choice for shorter moves or those not moving directly on intermodal rail routes, as well as most long distance moves. Large household goods shipments are outstanding choices for full truck shipments, and are far cheaper than moving by a "van line". Most general commodity freight moves by this method.
