Bringing Out the Best
An initiative known as Invisible Hands is helping those most at-risk during the coronavirus pandemic. It’s a rather simple service; grocery shopping and delivering essential supplies to those stuck in quarantine. Founded by Liam Elkind and his friend Simone Policano, Invisible Hands has amassed 1,300 volunteers in just 72 hours to deliver groceries and medicine to older New Yorkers and other vulnerable people.
The volunteers in the initiative still practice social distancing and provide these services while taking the adequate safety measures. In a time where we feel most separated and apart from each other, Invisible Hands has come along and instilled a sense of comfort and happiness, especially in those needing it most in today’s day and age.
And the best part, Invisible Hands is starting to have a bigger outreach than just New York. Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington, and even London have volunteers offering these services too. For once, we can smile and cheer when talking about something spreading!
To create value for our customers by delivering customized shipping solutions that meet their unique needs and to fulfill shipping demands from simple to complex with expertise, guidance and ingenuity.
LTL shipping involves combining multiple small shipments from different customers onto one truck, allowing each customer to share the shipment cost. Trust the experts at FreightCenter to give you the best prices and the most comprehensive options for all your LTL freight shipping needs.
Truckload shipping, also known as full truckload (FTL), is a transportation option for freight that requires the entire trucks trailer space. Unlike LTL shipping, FTL shipping is reserved for larger commodities that exceed LTL weight and size limits, typically weighing more than 20,000 pounds or having dimensions that exceed 12 feet in length, 8 feet in width, and 8 feet in height. We deliver optimized solutions for full or partial truckloads and competitive dry van, flatbed, and refrigerated freight pricing. We can cover your full truckload shipping needs.
Nationwide Expedited Trucking services move your freight securely and rapidly. Your freight requires fast delivery; our freight shipping experts can get your shipment fast, whether in one large box or a full truckload.
Specialized is a transportation option for items that require specialized handling, equipment, or shipping conditions. Specialized shipments may include high-value cargo, oversized cargo, or cargo that require temperature-controlled transportation. The most reliable Specialized Freight Services rates from all the top carriers are just a few steps away. From white glove service to international shipping, we've got you covered.
Guaranteed competitive pricing every time you ship.
