Full Truck Load Freight Transport Ohio
When a business owner or shipper ships such large freight that it takes up the entire space of a truck, we refer to it as Full Truckload freight transport. Typically, any freight shipment that is over 15,000 pounds is carried out using FTL shipping. So, as a business owner that needs to transport large quantities of freight at once to Ohio, FTL freight transport offers shipping more than a truck of freight simultaneously. F, FTL freight shipping is safer as delivery to a destination is always straightforward and done once. Your freight won't be at risk of being mishandled because stopovers at various destinations are not attached to FTL shipping. We can ship your freight using this method through dry vans trailers, flatbeds, and intermodal containers.
LTL Freight Shipping
We also ship small quantities of freight to Ohio using LTL freight shipping. As a business owner that needs to ship small freight to Ohio for distribution or warehousing purposes, you can use the less-than-truckload freight option. It is cost-effective and affordable as you will only have to pay for the space your shipment occupies. This is a very good option if you have freight larger than what can be shipped by a parcel carrier but not as much as can fill up an entire truck. Also, it is a very good freight shipping method if you have to ship small freight regularly, but the volume of the freight would not fill up an entire truck.

The cost of shipping freight to or from Ohio will depend on your freight chargeable weight, distance, mode of transportation, and whether you are paying for full truckload (FTL) or less than truckload (LTL).
For example, choosing air freight will be more expensive, and paying for FTL even when your items won't fill a truck will cost more. You can get an estimate for your freight shipping using our free quote tool.
You can typically get your freight shipped within a day if the distance is close or if you use air freight as the mode of transportation. Longer distances and other shipping modes may take a couple of days. Also, using an FTL option will eliminate delays and expedite the shipping process.
We determine your chargeable weight by calculating the gross weight and volumetric weight of your shipment and using one of the two that is higher.
Gross weight takes into account the combined weight of your shipment including its packaging, and pallets. Volumetric weight is the volume of your shipment (l x b x h) divided by the density ratio of the shipment mode you choose.
