Shippers are needed to provide their name, the recipient’s info, date of the shipment, number of units being shipped, types of packing being used, a freight class, dimensions, value and more in this document.

Heavier items must be placed on the bottom of the pallets or crates, whereas lighter items must be placed on the summit. It is also wise to include at least one large label on each handing unit in the shipment. Shipment loading: All the above-mentioned tips contribute to a shipment that’s ready to be loaded, if executed correctly. LTL shippers must have the dimensions & vital documentation in hand once their shipments are properly packed and labeled for the carrier.
