Why Do Shipping Rates Go Up and Down

Why Do Shipping Rates Go Up and Down?

Shipping rates can vary a lot, whether you have a shipping expert at your business, handle shipping yourself, or use a logistics company. If you send a package to a place one day and then send the same package a month later, you might end up paying different shipping costs. But why does this happen? To understand why shipping rates fluctuate, let’s talk about freight logistics. Carriers are the people who transport packages and freight from shippers to their destinations. A package may go through several carriers before reaching its final stop. Carriers travel all over the country, making stops along the way. At each stop, they can exchange some of their shipments with other carriers heading to the same destination. This means that carriers are always changing the amount of freight they carry. Carriers want to make their trips as efficient as possible between each stop. If they drop off a lot of freight at one stop, they will want to pick up additional shipments to make their trip more productive. This sometimes means that carriers offer lower shipping costs to maximize their efficiency. When we work with a freight logistics company, we can communicate with carriers who are

Lower the Cost of Your LTL Freight Shipping

Lower the Cost of Your LTL Freight Shipping

LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight shipping is a type of shipping method used to transport small to medium-sized shipments that do not require a full truckload. This method is often used by businesses that need to ship smaller quantities of goods or products that are too large for parcel shipping but do not require a full truckload. Here are some key characteristics of LTL shipping costs: Consolidation: LTL shipments are consolidated with other shipments to fill up a truck. This allows multiple shippers to share the cost of transportation and reduces the cost of shipping for each individual shipper. Cost Savings: LTL shipments are priced based on the weight and volume of the shipment, as well as the distance it needs to be transported. The more a shipment weighs and the farther it needs to be transported, the higher the cost. Freight Class: LTL shipments are classified based on their characteristics such as weight, size, and density. This classification system helps to determine the appropriate rate for the shipment. Tracking: LTL shipments are tracked throughout the transportation process, providing visibility to both the shipper and the receiver. Delivery Times: LTL shipments are delivered to a terminal or warehouse, where they are consolidated
