2. Provide Key Shipment Details

The more accurate info you give, the better (and faster) the quote. Required basics include:

• Origin city, state, ZIP code (pickup address if possible).

• Destination city, state, ZIP code (delivery address if possible).

• Requested pickup date (or date range).

• Freight description: What you're shipping (e.g., consumer goods, machinery parts, food products).

• Total weight (in lbs).

• Number of pallets or pieces.

• Dimensions per pallet/piece (length × width × height in inches) — critical for density/class and equipment fit.

• Pallet type (standard 40×48, custom, skids, crates, etc.) and if stackable.

• Any special requirements: Temperature control (reefer), hazardous materials, liftgate, residential/commercial delivery, appointment needed, inside delivery, etc.

• Equipment type preferred (if known): dry van, reefer, flatbed, etc.

• Urgency: Standard, expedited, or guaranteed delivery window?

  
  

3. Optional but Helpful Extras

While not required, these details can help us provide a more accurate quote:

• Freight class (if you know it) or NMFC code.

• Value of goods (for liability/insurance quotes).

• Any accessorials already anticipated (e.g., detention, tarps, liftgates).

• Volume/frequency (e.g., weekly shipments) — we can discuss contracted rates for regular shipments.

  
  

4. We'll Respond Within 5 Minutes!

Expect the following in our response:

• Side-by-side LTL vs. FTL options (when both apply).

• Transit time estimates.

• Equipment recommendations.

• Suggestions to optimize (e.g., density improvements for LTL savings).

  
  

Pro Tips for the Best Rates

• Provide exact dimensions and weights—guestimates can lead to reclass/reweigh fees later.

• Ask about multi-stop or consolidation options if you have multiple locations.

• If you're a regular shipper, mention it—we can set up account pricing for ongoing discounts.

• Quotes are free, no obligation, and valid for a set window (usually 7–30 days, depending on the type of quote).
