5. Freight Services & Cost Continuum across modes

6. Types of Freight Services
LESS THAN TRUCKLOAD (LTL)
• By far the most popular type of freight
shipment, LTL freight is generally shipped by
truck to and from your pickup and destination
locations.
• LTL freight is the most cost-effective, reliable
and timely service because your shipment
shares a truck with other LTL freight shipments.

7. Partial Truckload
Different from LTL freight, this type of
freight involves a dedicated truck that
moves fewer loads at one time and handles
all types of commodities; including
refrigerated, temperature-controlled,
hazardous material and overweight or
oversized goods

8. TRUCKLOAD (TL)
• If your freight type requires a full,
dedicated truck than it most likely
requires truckload transportation.
• This service is ideal for
commodities that are unpackaged
or may require refrigeration,
climate control, flatbeds or other
special accommodation for
oversize or overweight shipments.

9. AIR RIDE TRUCKLOAD (FULL OR PARTIAL)
• If your shipment is delicate or has a high risk of
damage, then a dedicated truck with air-ride
suspension is the most preferred method of
transportation.
• For this type of freight, air ride provides a softer
ride than a standard freight truck.
• Because this type of service is used less frequently
it can often be more expensive than a standard full
or partial truckload shipment.

10. AIR FREIGHT
• Air freight services are by far have the fastest transit
time.
• Cargo airlines or air freight carriers are dedicated to
handling logistics for the transport of cargo.
• Specifically, for the shipping of smaller packages,
types of air freight usually have a higher density,
which means they don’t take up much space on a
cargo plane but they do meet the weight
requirements to be considered freight.
• If the package weighs more than 100 pounds and is
tightly packed, air freight transportation can be more
cost-effective than LTL freight methods.

11. BLANKET WRAP OR VAN MOVE
• Another method of shipping freight that cannot be
boxed or crated is to request blanket wrap or van
move services.
• A perfect solution for large pieces of furniture that
cannot be repackaged, blanket wrapping and van
moves are slightly more expensive than basic LTL
freight shipping.

12. RAIL FREIGHT
• Shipping by rail is a cost-effective, efficient and
green transportation method.
• Widely used as a method of shipping bulk
construction or hazardous materials, rail freight
can save you time and money compared to
shipping by truck.
• With railroad systems throughout the country,
our extensive network of rail freight carriers can
deliver your cargo to most places in India.

13. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
• Through our network of freight forwarders
and ocean or air transporters, Freight Center
agents can arrange international container
transportation to and from most parts of the
world.
• Whether you have smaller, dense packages or
a shipment that can be moved by container or
boat, we have solutions to keep your imports
and exports moving.

14. EXPEDITED FREIGHT SERVICES
Expedited freight is predictable because it allows
different types of freight to be moved at a very
high speed. Although not the same as
“Guaranteed Delivery,” expedited freight has a
speedy transit time and is usually arranged with
delivery between one and five days after pickup.

15. GUARANTEED DELIVERY
FREIGHT SERVICES
If the type of freight you are shipping
requires it to be delivered on a certain date
and time, then guaranteed delivery is your
best option. If the delivery is late, you will be
reimbursed for the difference between the
guaranteed price and the standard or
nonguaranteed rate.

17. Courier

18. Couriers are distinguished from ordinary mail
services by features such as speed, security,
tracking, signature, specialization and
individualization of express services, and swift
delivery times, which are optional for most
everyday mail services.
What are Courier Services

19. Courier Services are provided on following basis :-
 Urgency – If you need your package to be shipped as soon as possible, or if time is not your concern;
 Price – The quicker the service, the more expensive it gets;
 Size and weight of your parcel – The bigger the parcel is, the more space it takes from the courier
company’s trucks. Thus, the bigger and heavier the shipments are, the more you pay;
 Your desired delivery place – Usually, the closer you are to the delivery address or country, the less you
will pay;
 The type of products being sent – Some goods require special transport conditions, i.e. food or certain
products need a temperature-controlled environment;
 The fragility of your products – If you are planning on sending fragile items, such as wine bottles or
electronic products, you might want to choose the service that ensures that your package gets to its
destination safely;
 The value of goods being sent – If you are shipping high-value products, you might want them to be
delivered as soon as possible, or as safely as possible.
