Frequently Asked Questions About Freight Quotes
Q. What is a freight quote?
A freight quote is an estimate or price a freight carrier or shipping company provides for transporting goods from one location to another. It includes various factors such as the weight and dimensions of the shipment, the distance to be traveled, the mode of transportation, and any additional services required.
Q. How do I get an instant freight quote?
To get an instant freight quote, enter your shipment details—including pickup and delivery locations, weight, dimensions, and freight type—into FreightCenter’s online quote tool. Within seconds, you’ll see real-time rates from multiple carriers so you can choose the best option.
Q. What information do I need to get a freight quote?
To receive an accurate freight quote, you’ll need:
- Pickup & delivery addresses
- Freight type (LTL, FTL, refrigerated, intermodal, expedited)
- Weight & dimensions
- Packaging type (pallet, crate, box, etc.)
- Special handling needs (e.g., liftgate, residential delivery)
Q. How are freight shipping costs calculated?
Freight shipping costs depend on:
Freight class & NMFC code – Determines LTL pricing
Pickup & delivery locations – Remote areas may cost more
Weight & dimensions – Larger shipments increase rates
Refrigerated or specialized freight – Requires temperature control, affecting pricing
Expedited shipping – Faster transit means higher costs
Q. How can I get the cheapest freight quote?
To lower your freight shipping costs, consider:
- Comparing multiple carriers to find the best rate
- Shipping LTL instead of FTL when possible
- Optimizing packaging to reduce weight and size
- Booking in advance to avoid last-minute fees
Q. What’s the difference between LTL and FTL freight quotes?
LTL Freight (Less-Than-Truckload) – Best for smaller shipments that share space with other freight, reducing costs.
FTL Freight (Full Truckload) – Ideal for large shipments that fill an entire truck and require faster, dedicated transit.
Q. Are freight quotes guaranteed, or can they change?
Freight quotes are based on the information provided at booking. If the actual weight, dimensions, or freight class differs, the carrier may adjust the final price. To avoid changes, double-check your shipment details before booking.
Q. Do I need an NMFC code to get a freight quote?
For LTL shipments, you may need an NMFC (National Motor Freight Classification) code to determine your freight class and pricing. If you don’t know your NMFC code, our system can help classify your shipment.
Q. What factors affect transit time in my freight quote?
Transit times vary based on:
- Distance – Longer routes take more time.
- Carrier availability – Some carriers have faster service times.
- Freight type – Expedited shipping delivers faster but costs more.
- Weather & road conditions – Delays can affect delivery schedules.
Q. Can I schedule a freight pickup after getting a quote?
Yes! Once you choose a freight quote, you can book your shipment immediately and schedule a pickup date that works for you. Our system will handle the rest, from dispatching the carrier to tracking your shipment.
Q. Can I track my shipment after booking a freight quote?
Yes! FreightCenter provides real-time tracking so you can monitor your shipment’s progress from pickup to delivery. Once your shipment is booked, you’ll receive a tracking number and updates throughout transit.
Q. What payment options are available for freight shipping?
We accept all major credit cards, business accounts, and invoicing for approved customers. For high-volume shippers, we offer customized freight pricing and billing solutions.

Q. How do I book a freight shipment after getting a quote?
Booking a shipment is easy! Just follow these steps:
- Get an instant quote by entering your shipment details.
- Compare carrier options and select the best rate.
- Confirm pickup & delivery details and finalize your booking.
- Print your Bill of Lading (BOL) and attach it to your shipment.
- Track your freight in real-time until it reaches its destination!
After You Request a rate, Be Sure To Verify.
Dimensions:
Round up to the next inch when measuring a shipment’s length, width, and height. Accurate measurements are essential for carriers to maximize their trailer space. Improper measuring will result in a Billing Adjustment.
Documentation:
The lading bill must be completed as accurately as possible and given to the carriers when they arrive at the pickup point. The BOL acts as a receipt in a way for the goods that are being shipped.
Packaging and labeling:
Load goods onto pallets to condense and protect your shipments. Be sure to place heavy items on the bottom of pallets or crates, and make sure you should put a label on the side.
