FREIGHT AND PARCEL SHIPPING

SHIPPING LARGE GOODS

When the item you need shipped or transported is too large to take to the post office or your local parcel company, freight is seen as a more economical approach. There are two sectors of freight trucking: less-than-truckload (LTL) and truckload. Less-than-truckload shipping involves transporting smaller freight that doesn't take up a whole truck.

SHIPPING SMALL PACKAGES

To qualify for parcel shipping (and otherwise dodge the wrath of oversize fees), a parcel needs to fit within the restrictions of whichever carrier you’ve chosen to ship with. Maximum measurements differ per carrier, but it is generally understood that a parcel package should weigh no more than 150 pounds, which provides us with a good benchmark.

Freight class is a way of classifying shipments as defined by the National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC).
