Land Freight

Land freight is the movement of cargo across countries and regions using trucks, rail networks, or a combination of both. It’s the go-to option for domestic and continental shipping—offering dependable lead times, flexible service levels, and scalable capacity for everything from a single pallet to full truckloads and intermodal containers.

Everything is coordinated end-to-end: planning, scheduling, documentation, visibility, terminal handling (when rail is involved), and final delivery—so you get the best route and service without managing multiple carriers or handoffs.

Land freight splits into two primary trucking modes. Each page covers that mode in depth — pricing, process, equipment, and FAQs.

How do I choose between LTL and FTL shipping?

Use LTL (less-than-truckload) when your freight is roughly one to six pallets and can share a trailer. Choose FTL (full truckload) when you fill most of a trailer, need fewer handling touches for fragile goods, or want faster, more predictable point-to-point transit. We compare total landed cost to recommend the better fit.

What are accessorial charges in land freight?

Accessorials are services beyond standard dock-to-dock pickup and delivery—such as liftgate, residential or limited-access delivery, inside delivery, and appointment scheduling. They add cost, so we surface likely accessorials up front to keep your quote accurate and avoid surprises at delivery.

Do you offer residential and final-mile delivery?

Yes. We coordinate residential, limited-access, and final-mile delivery with liftgate service, appointment scheduling, and dock or site-requirement coordination so freight arrives the way the receiver needs it.

Can you handle cross-border land freight to Canada and Mexico?

Yes. We arrange cross-border truck and intermodal moves to and from Canada and Mexico, coordinating the required customs paperwork and broker hand-offs to keep shipments compliant and moving.
