FTL Freight comes in many different shapes and sizes. It’s not always a picture of its definition, a Full Truckload. In many cases, FTL freight looks a little different. If you are not sure which way to ship, we hope you will find some clarity here.
FTL Freight is a great way to ship if you have enough cargo to fill a full trailer, but you may benefit from FTL freight in other ways also, even if you don’t fit the criteria for a full load.
FTL Freight for Time-Sensitive Cargo
FTL Freight will most defiantly save you and your business time in shipping. If you are in a crunch and need your cargo shipped promptly, you may want to seriously consider shipping your cargo via FTL freight. There will be no time lost in unnecessary stops for other shipments as with LTL freight. Your shipment will have top priority from start to finish and will be your drivers' sole assignment.
Odd-sized and Unbalanced Freight
When it comes to odd sized and unbalanced cargo, there may not be a lot of options. For the security of your freight, and potentially any other shipments, FTL freight will probably be your best and safest bet. At American Manufacturing Solutions we are excited to be able to offer a Conestoga flatbed trailer with a tarp system in the mix of options when it comes to those odd sized and unbalanced shipments. The flexibility of this innovative trailer comes in handy during loading and unloading and adds another option in addition to a dry van, or a flatbed.
Risk Factor
There is a certain added security when it comes to shipping FTL freight. You will find a few distinct benefits in security because of the risk factor. Here at American Manufacturing Solutions, we are great at what we do. We pride ourselves on having a very responsible and experienced team, from our drivers to our warehouse staff, all around, but with every stop, comes a small risk factor. That’s not because the professionals handling the cargo are not skilled, but because there will always be a risk factor when extra handling is involved. Shipping FTL freight, allows less handling of your freight, because it is a straight shot, from point A to point B.
We sincerely hope this brief description, and the quick overview, has helped to clarify FTL freight and what its best suited for. Choosing the right shipping options when it comes to your freight can be tricky, but we hope to make it as easy as possible for you and your current and future business ventures. We are more than happy to answer any other questions you may have and look forward to serving you however we can.
