Coordinating Your Freight Delivery in Arizona

Shipping freight isn’t a simple task. There are many factors that go into determining the maximum weight and volume of a load, and in figuring out the ideal weight distribution. Generally speaking, an average full truckload is between 42,000 and 44,000 pounds. Refrigerated trailers can carry less because they are already heavier, while lighter truck/trailer combinations can carry more. Businesses prefer to max out the truckload in order to make the best use of their resources, but what happens if you just don’t have enough for a full truckload? Xcel Delivery Services in Arizona has the solution to your dilemma.

An Overview of Less Than Truckload (LTL) Shipping

Less than truckload shipping is an effective and convenient way to coordinate your freight delivery throughout Arizona and beyond. It allows shipments from two or more businesses to be loaded onto the same truck. Each shipper only pays for the space used by that particular business. With LTL shipping, your business can keep its shipping costs low and manage its carbon footprint. Another benefit is the timeliness of the deliveries. Without LTL shipping services, a company’s pallets may be stuck at the distribution center, waiting for additional inventory to make up a full truckload. With LTL freight delivery, there’s no need to leave these pallets at the distribution center—they can be shipped out right away.
