It looks like I'm going to need approximately 4 pallets hauled from Crowley, LA 70526 to Lamoni, IA 50140. Anyone have any connections that can get me a good deal or know of a cost-effective approach? I've never used LTL services before.

Sent you a PM with my ph# on it, call me tomorrow and I can get the details,shoot you a price.

Thanks. It is 4 pallets of automotive specialty tools and I'm guessing the weight to be around 500-600 per pallet.

Loading / unloading facilities ?

Also discount is also determined by freight in what is called a lane... if it's a hot lane for LTL you get it cheaper... Florida freight is high because alot goes in and not much comes out....

give me an approx zip code to and from

True!

FedEx and UPS are expensive for LTL. Go to www.freightquote.com and you'll be able to compare about 30 different companies and choose either the lowest rate or the one you feel most comfortable with.

You could also use www.uship.com where truck drivers bid on your shipment.

Stop that, They don't need my business !:doh!:

Thatta boy, I knew I could count on a friend.

The trick to it is his time frame, how long he can wait it out for the right price compared to how fast he needs it .... simple supply & demand and truck availability over a ready on demand LTL carrier..

I'm an agent for Tennessee Commercial Transport Inc., based in Franklin,Tn with offices in ( well my home ) Greenville,Ky, New Orleans, La. and Lebanon,Tn.

I can handle full truck load, flats, steps, vans, over sized & heavy haul plus LTL shipments in the U.S. , Canada & Mexico.

Sounds like the ( if ) next light load of sugar going to Des Moines could be the ticket. I just don't know when it may be, would have to do some checking to see, put it on the back of a van to lift it right off.

We do have some flatbed and step decks running that lane, would it have to be tarped ?

I hope to have more specifics today or tomorrow. It looks like posting on the Planet was a good idea. Thanks for the info guys. Roy, I just sent you a PM.
