Full Truck Load Freight Transport
The FTL freight shipping method is highly beneficial for most businesses that transport their items by road. For one, you don't have to worry about the size of the commodities you're shipping as there are no restrictions on weight. You also save on transportation costs if you're transporting items that can fill up a trailer, making it the best solution for large businesses. At A-1 Auto Transport, we provide FTL shipping solutions for companies that need to transport heavy materials interstate and intrastate. We offer a transport management system (TMS) that helps you track your shipment from when it is picked up until it arrives at your destination. If you need to transport large equipment from Montana to any part of the country, you can count on us to deliver without delays.
Less Than Truck Load Freight Transport
LTL freight transportation is used to transport modest amounts of freight that do not require the usage of a complete trailer. This delivery method transports your things with those of other customers, making it ideal for small businesses. You will save money on transportation because you will not pay for space you do not use and will have access to experienced shippers. If you want to keep your business expenditures low while meeting your clients' requests, LTL shipping is the way to go. It can be used as part of your distribution plan because it allows you to combine your freight, reducing the number of drivers required to fulfill your deliveries.

Frequently Asked Questions
We literally ship from or to anywhere in the US. If you are planning shipping to or from any of the 455 cities in Montana and their suburbs, we'll be right there for you.
There is no open blanket answer to this, it depends on a few factors including the freight route, freight mode, and shipping options. For example, you will pay more for a Full Truckload (FTL) than when you choose Less Than Truckload (LTL). Also, air freights cost more than other freight shipping modes.
To avoid guesswork, you can use our free quote tool to estimate how much your freight might cost.
Some freights can arrive the same day while some may take several days. If you are shipping by air freight, your items will arrive faster than sea freight or land for example. In the same vein, using the full truckload shipping options will expedite the time of delivery because less than truckload shipping may involve waiting for other customers to fill up spaces and a number of stopovers along the way delivering freights.
Gross weight or volumetric weight is used to determine chargeable weight. Freight carriers estimate the two and choose the one with the highest value
The gross weight is the total weight of your shipment including its packaging and the pallets used to support it. Volumetric weight is obtained by dividing the volume of your shipment (length x breadth x height) by the density ratio of the shipping mode.
