LTL & FTL Freight: Dry Van & Flatbed

We move full truckloads (FTL) and partial loads (LTL). For standard full truckloads we show a firm, bookable price online: choose the equipment, enter the weight and dimensions, and the price includes linehaul and fuel at this week’s diesel average. LTL shipments share a trailer with other freight and are quoted by our dispatch team.

Rules of the road

Regulations that affect this move

Legal size and weight

Loads within 8 ft 6 in wide and the federal 80,000 lb gross limit move without permits. Anything wider, taller or heavier is reviewed and quoted with permits.

Questions

Do you ship LTL (less than truckload)?

Yes. If your freight does not fill a trailer, send us the pickup and delivery ZIP codes, the number of pallets, the weight and dimensions, and the freight class if you know it. Dispatch replies with a price. Full truckloads can be priced instantly online.

Is the online price final?

For standard loads over 250 miles the price shown is firm when you book, as long as the weight and dimensions you entered are accurate. Waiting time and extra stops are charged at the rates shown with your quote.

Other freight

Carried by Ryecroft Freight trucks or, outside our lanes, by a vetted partner carrier named on your booking.
