How to Get a Freight Quote

Getting a freight quote should be easy, but there is more involved than merely entering the weight and size of your shipment in a freight carrier’s website.

It’s important to provide accurate information when requesting a freight quote. Otherwise, you risk paying more for your shipment due to unexpected service and fuel charges.

How to Get a Quote

Gather details about your shipment such as:

  • Type of freight including container types such as pallets, crates, or barrels
  • Type of goods to determine the proper classification code
  • Shipment value for freight insurance costs and requirements
  • Size and weight
  • Special handling requirements including pickup and delivery requirements like location, liftgate, refrigeration truck, or hazardous materials
  • Point of origin and destination
  • Delivery speed detailing when the shipment needs to be delivered

Quote Notes

With your freight details in hand, decide where to get your freight quote. You can request a freight quote directly from freight carriers, third-party logistics companies, or online freight exchanges.

Once you receive your freight quotes it’s time to compare them. This is where it gets complicated–sorting through the complex details of each to make the best selection.
