What Are the Advantages of Using a Freight Terminal?
- Cost—Your freight cost will be much lower. When you bring your freight to the carrier’s main hub or distribution site, you avoid extra fees for accessorials like lift gates.
- Speed—Your freight moves faster. A direct hand off to the carrier ensures your freight will be the next to go when a truck arrives.
- Assurance—Your freight is visible. When fewer trucks are required (meaning less handling), the chances of your freight being lost or misplaced is dramatically reduced.
