Considerations
Focused exclusively on LTL freight; does not offer parcel, full truckload, or warehousing/fulfillment services for ecommerce order fulfillment
Primarily designed for B2B palletized freight (500-15,000 lbs), not suited for small parcel or direct-to-consumer last-mile delivery
No publicly listed pricing or transparent rate cards; quotes require contacting sales or using the portal
LTL operations close on major holidays across all service regions, which may impact time-sensitive shipments
