FTL Freight Shipping
FTL Freight Shipping is used to transport goods from one location to another. This freight shipping method works when a company uses an entire truck to transport its goods to a specific location without stopping at other places.
The truck used may not be packed full, but the shipper would not be able to share the truck with another company. It is one shipper, one truckload. In this shipping method, the shipper can save costs by transporting as many goods as necessary to a particular destination. Also, the delivery is timely since no stops are made during transit.
A-1 Auto Transport offers the FTL Freight Shipping service as one of its shipping methods to transport goods on land. This freight shipping method is very cost-effective and saves on transporting your goods anywhere you want. You can trust A-1 Auto Transport to assist you in getting your shipments to the required destination.
LTL Freight Shipping
The Less Than Truckload Freight Shipping service is ideal for shipping any package, whether large or small. This freight shipping method is very cost-effective as more than one company or business can share the cost of shipping their package by using the truck together.
LTL freight shipping rates are usually low due to the freight traffic moving into or through Massachusetts. Outbound Massachusetts freight shipping is generally considered to have the lowest prices and making use of the LTL Freight Shipping method makes this feasible for many companies.

Freight shipping and delivery can be done in a day if it's within a state or between states next door. However, when shipping freight from the east coast to the West Coast, for example, it could take a couple of days or several days. Here are the odds:
- Route
- Freight mode, air freights can get delivered in a day even in states far apart from MA.
- Shipping option, FTL shipping gets delivered faster than LTL shipping.
The bottom line is that you need to get word from your shipping company about when you should expect your freight to be delivered.
Freight chargeable weight is calculated based on one of two metrics, the gross weight or the volumetric weight. Gross weight is the combined weight of your shipment and that includes packaging and pallets. Volumetric weight is calculated using the volume of your shipment divided by the density ratio of your shipment mode. Whichever one is greater between the gross weight and volumetric weight is used as chargeable weight.
