Truck Orders Up Substantially as Economy Continues to Grow
October 5, 2020
The next step to saving money on freight or logistics charges: Confirm your Freight Class and Weights are correct.
Freight carriers charge more to deliver to a residential location
compared to a business location. This is because residential locations
typically involve harder to navigate streets and are often more
difficult to find than business located in commercial areas. Remember,
even if you run a business out of your residence, the freight carrier
will still consider that a “residential delivery” and charge the hefty
residential delivery fees on that shipment. If a business location is
not a possibility, freight carriers deliver to airport terminals and you
can pick up freight shipments there if the weight is low enough to transport with your vehicle.
