Freight & Larger Shipments

Freight & palletised shipments

Freight that is too big for a van and too small to justify a full trailer usually ends up expensive. We run cargo vans through straight trucks with liftgate and pallet jack, so a couple of pallets move at a sensible price without waiting for an LTL carrier's schedule to line up.

Why book this with us

What you get, done right

Everything below applies to every freight & larger shipments job we run.

Liftgate and pallet jack

Requested at booking, so a delivery does not fail because there is no forklift at the other end.

Dedicated vehicle

Reserve a vehicle for your freight alone — nothing else on board, no other stops.

Right-sized pricing

Vehicle recommended from the weight and dimensions you enter, so you are not quoted a truck for a van job.

LTL and FTL quoted properly

Longer-haul and full-trailer work is quoted by our operations team rather than guessed by a calculator.

Questions

Frequently asked

How much can a box truck carry?+

Roughly 10,000 lbs or six to eight pallets. Straight trucks take up to about 15,000 lbs. Anything beyond that is quoted as full truckload.

Do I need a forklift at the delivery point?+

No, provided you request a liftgate and pallet jack when booking. Without them the driver may be unable to complete an unassisted unload.

Can you quote LTL and full truckload?+

Yes, though not instantly — those are priced by our operations team against your specific route and timing. Submit the enterprise quote form and you will normally hear back within the business hour.
