When deciding whether to use freight shipping versus over-the-road transportation, there are times when transporting certain goods that freight shipping is a better decision. For instance, many parcel services have size and weight limits such as packages over 150 pounds or greater than 108" in length cannot be shipped by a parcel carrier. Consideration must be given to delicate items, whereby parcel carriers, even though your items may be marked "fragile" can't guarantee all handlers throughout the shipping process will treat your goods as such. Find a reputable freight shipper that has established professional and reliable resources, and know how to coordinate delivery anywhere in the U.S.
What Types of Items can be Freight Shipped
Moving large and bulky items are also good candidates for shipping by freight. Custom crates and pallets can be created to properly secure any items against damage, such as:
- antiques
- artwork
- furniture
- medical equipment
- office equipment
- appliances

Freight shipping can get your goods to their destination faster and your items, because they are secured in shipping crates or onto shipping pallets are better protected.
