When Your LTL Freight Shipment HAS to go, Follow These 9 Steps (Infographic)

We’ve all been there: You have an important shipment that has to leave the dock today or else something bad is going to happen. Angry customer, late shipment, end of month, mad boss, deadline, etc. The reasons are endless and so are the excuses for a shipment still sitting on the dock the next day. If you want to avoid all of that headache, follow these 9 steps so you can relax while your shipment moves along as planned.

Follow these 9 steps to make sure your shipment goes out TODAY!

LTL Carriers don’t offer guaranteed pickups. Even if they did, what would they be guaranteeing it against? On a guaranteed LTL delivery you have some recourse because there is an invoice. But, a guaranteed pickup? There’s nothing on the line yet. The only way to safely ensure your shipment is moved off your dock (short of physically dropping it on their dock) is laid out in these 9 steps. I hope you can use this to your advantage and it saves you from a disaster.
