General Shipping Questions
What is considered less-than-truckload?
LTL is ideal for shipments larger than a parcel (small package). More specifically, any item(s) that don’t require the use of the full truck space or weight capacity so that other shippers can share the same space. Most often, LTL requirements state that the max load weight is 15,000 pounds or less.
What do you need to do before making a shipment?
The first thing you should do is collect proper dimensions, including the weight, of the freight you plan on shipping. Accurate dimensions are crucial to prevent unexpected charges due to adjustments. We will then use the information you gave us to calculate the freight class for you when you go to complete your free quote.
How are rates calculated?
Less-than-truckload (LTL) rates are based on the freight class determined by the National Motor Freight Classification (“NMFC”) and based on your shipment’s weight. All displayed transit times are estimates only and do not include the date of pickup. Although carriers will make every effort to meet your pickup and delivery dates, however LTL pick up and delivery dates are not guaranteed.
How do I determine freight class?
Freight classes are determined by weight, dimensions, density, storage capability, value, ease of handling, and liability (from cases such as theft, damage, breakability and spoilage). There are 18 freight classes, so how can you determine which class you’re in? Lucky for you, GoShip.com has a built-in freight density calculator so when you enter your shipment specifications – we’ll tell you what your freight class is!
What is a bill of lading (BOL)?
The bill of lading is one of the most important documents that you are required to present to the carrier in order to ship your freight. It is a contract between the carrier and the shipping that includes important information such as addresses, fright class, dimensions, item description, and any additional instructions needed.
How important is the packaging of your freight?
Your freight’s protection is the carrier’s number one concern. But sometimes things may happen, especially if you package your freight incorrectly. Be sure that you wrap your freight in proper materials to keep it safe and restrict movement. When packing, be sure the boxes or crates are as full as possible with packing material to fill the empty spaces. We highly recommend palletizing, if possible, as it is the best safety solution. It is good to note any special requests about the freight you’re shipping on your BOL so the carrier can identify them.
How do you choose the right carrier?
Your free quote gives you multiple options to choose from our trusted list of carriers. The right one for you depends on your budget, what you’re shipping, and where you’re shipping too. We leave the ball in your court so you can pick the one that fits your needs. We always recommend researching carriers before you select one.

Billing Questions
How do payments work for customers?
GoShip.com users book their shipments online with a credit card which automatically authorizes GoShip.com to dispatch the shipment to the assigned carrier for pickup on behalf of the user.
How do you pay the carrier?
GoShip.com pays the carriers based on our pre-negotiated contract rates that are only valid for GoShip.com users and per the assigned carriers’ policies that are outlines in their rules tariff documents.
Fees and service charges
When booking your shipment, you are given options for accessorial services which will be added to your bill once you book the shipment. These can be services such as inside delivery, load dock or forklift use.
Another thing you may see on your bill is adjustment fees. If your freight dimensions, weight, addresses, product descriptions were entered incorrectly, your carrier will have to edit the BOL and make changes to the shipments causing a delay. The carrier won’t hesitate to supply a fee for that, so be accurate because those can get pricey!
Refunds and disputes
If for any reason there was an issue with your shipment or your shipment needs to be cancelled, reach out to our billing team so we can handle your request as soon as possible. GoShip.com will charge a cancellation fee of 10% of shipment with a minimum fee of $100.
