How quickly can I get a quote?



We'll get you an accurate rate within 1 hour during business hours. While other brokers rush to quote and adjust later, we take the time to assess your needs thoroughly. This means the rate we quote is the rate you pay—no surprises, no hidden fees.

Can I get volume discounts?



Yes, we offer tiered pricing that rewards higher shipping volumes with competitive discounts. Contract rates are also available for consistent, high-volume shipping needs to help you secure stable pricing.

Do rates change after booking?



Once your rate is confirmed and booked, it remains fixed unless you need to change shipment details or additional services are requested after the quote has been provided.

What factors affect my freight rate?



Multiple factors determine your rate, including distance, weight, density, freight class, and special handling requirements. Market conditions like seasonality and capacity also influence pricing.

What information do I need to book a load?



We collect detailed information about your freight. From specific handling requirements to facility constraints, understanding every aspect of your freight upfront helps us select the right carrier and prevent problems before they start. While it takes a few extra minutes, this thorough approach saves hours of headaches later and is how we consistently deliver successful shipments.
