How to Get a Freight Quote

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.

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
