Government Shipping

Military & Government Shipping Solutions

Join the numerous government, military, and institutional agencies we’ve helped save time and money. Our helpful FreightCenter agents can customize government and corporate shipping solutions for less than truckload (LTL), full truckloads (FTL), international shipments, or any project-based load.

What’s the Best Shipping Solution for Your Load?

Your best shipping options depend on the size and scale of your freight. Generally, you’ll choose between LTL shipping and truckload (TL) shipping.

Less-than-Load (LTL)
Choose this option when shipping a relatively small item—say, an engine—and it will not take up the entirety of a trailer. Pay for the space you take up rather than the entire truck. That makes sense. But arranging LTL transport is easier said than done. FreightCenter has put together a handy guide detailing how you’ll benefit from our expertise when arranging LTL logistics.

Truckload (TL)
Any time your shipment weighs more than 15,000 pounds, or if you are shipping more than ten pallets worth of goods—TL is the choice for you. If you are sending a large enough load (e.g., three commercial lawnmowers), you may need to utilize TL services. This option requires a lot of freight to make it a more economical choice as opposed to LTL.

When Pricing Matters, Look to the Details
Many enterprises and government agencies must adhere to tight shipping budgets. To avoid any surprises, take freight class and density weight into consideration.

Freight class: Freight rates are determined by several factors, including package dimensions, weight, distance, freight class, and your package’s pounds-per-cubic-foot (PCF) or density. Your package’s PCF is closely related to the freight class applied to your freight shipment. A low PCF will result in a higher class rating. In turn, a higher class rating corresponds to a higher cost to ship your freight.
