Transportation Services
These are the common ways used boxes and pallets get moved. A partner supplier can tell you what suits your load.
Local Pickup & Delivery
When a partner supplier is close to you, a local truck is often the simplest way to move a load, from a few pallets upward. Tell us where the boxes are and where they need to go.
Regional Transport
Loads moving between nearby states usually travel by truck. A supplier in our network can quote the freight along with the order or the purchase of your surplus.
LTL Freight
Less-than-truckload shipping suits a few pallets going a longer distance. Your load shares a trailer with other freight, and the supplier can tell you whether it makes sense.
Full Truckload
Full truckload (FTL) shipping gives a large order its own trailer. It is a common choice for high-volume box and pallet orders.
Repeat Pickups
If surplus boxes build up regularly at your site, mention it in your request. Whether repeat pickups are possible depends on the supplier.
Time-Sensitive Shipments
Working to a deadline? Give the date in your request. Whether a partner supplier can meet it depends on trucks, stock and location.
Intermodal Shipping
For long-distance, high-volume shipments, intermodal freight combines truck and rail. Ask a supplier whether it suits your load, as transit can take longer.
Lift-Gate & Inside Delivery
No loading dock, or need boxes brought inside? Say so in your request, so the supplier can check whether a lift gate or inside delivery is possible.
Coverage Areas
We accept requests from across the US. Availability depends on partner suppliers in your area.
Local Requests
Where availableMoving a load across town is usually the most straightforward job, because it needs only one truck and a short trip. It depends on having a partner supplier nearby.
Regional Requests
By quoteLoads moving between nearby states are normally handled by truck. Include both addresses in your request, and a partner supplier can tell you what is possible.
Requests From Across the US
Availability variesWe accept requests from across the US. Longer distances usually mean LTL or full truckload freight, and availability depends on partner suppliers in your area.
Metro and Rural Sites
Site details helpSite access matters as much as distance. Note any limits such as tight streets, no dock, or restricted hours for receiving trucks, so the right vehicle can be planned.
Trucks & Equipment
Partner suppliers and carriers use different equipment. These truck types are common for packaging loads.
Box Trucks (16-26 ft)
A versatile choice for local and regional deliveries. Many box trucks have lift gates for loading and unloading at locations without docks.
Flatbed Trucks
Used for oversized loads and pallet stacks that do not fit a standard box truck. Side-loading can help with bulky or irregularly shaped loads, though loads need weather protection.
Lift-Gate Trucks
A hydraulic lift gate lowers pallets from the truck bed to the ground, so a delivery can reach a site with no dock. Ask for one if you need it.
Tractor-Trailers (53 ft)
For high-volume shipments, 53-foot dry van trailers offer the most space. They are the usual choice for full truckloads of boxes, pallets, and packaging materials.
Scheduling & Lead Times
Timing is agreed with the partner supplier and depends on your load and location. These tips help keep it simple.
Give Your Date Early
Include your preferred pickup or delivery date in your request. The more notice a supplier has, the more options there usually are.
Describe Your Load
Box type, number of pallets and approximate weight all help a supplier choose the right truck and work out the timing.
Allow for Distance
Transit time depends on distance and how the load ships. Shared LTL freight can take longer than a dedicated truck.
Confirm With the Supplier
Dates are agreed with the partner supplier or their carrier. Confirm the timing with them before you plan around it.
How Shipping Is Priced
Freight is priced by quote from partner suppliers. These are the main factors behind a quote.
Distance
How far the load travels is usually the biggest factor, along with how easy the route is to serve.
Load Size
Number of pallets, weight and dimensions all count. Flattened boxes take up less space than assembled ones.
Freight Class
LTL shipments are generally priced using freight class, weight, dimensions, and destination.
Site Requirements
Extras such as a lift gate, inside delivery or a narrow time window may affect the price. Mention them in your request.
Before Your Pickup or Delivery
A few details agreed with your supplier ahead of time can make a pickup or delivery go smoothly.
Date and Time Window
Confirm when the truck is due and how much notice you will get if that changes.
Site Contact
Give the supplier the name of someone on site who can meet the driver and answer questions.
Load Readiness
Have boxes stacked, counted and easy to reach, and clear a path to the truck before it arrives.
Delivery Paperwork
Ask what paperwork comes with the load, then check the boxes and note any damage when you sign for them.
