  2. Even if you want to ship freight only once, it is always a good practice to open an account with freight the hauler. Generally the freight carriers offer discounts and other flexible payment options to account holders. Ask for Discounts- Many shipping industries offer discounted freight services to their members when asked and it may range from 10 to 60 percent .so don’t be shy especially if you want to ship your freight frequently or for LTL freight. Avoid overnight freight by panning your shipments in advance. Also avoid superfluous charges by being ready ahead of time as most of them charge a return free if you are there for pickup. Combine Service Types- If you have several packets going to the same place with different delivery addresses. Consider international freight services. Opting for such options prevents unnecessary expenditure, by shipping the packages to a centrally located hub in a delivery location then the standard parcel shipping company deliver them to their individual locations. You can also combine TL and LTL shipping in a similar way. Only Pay for What You Need- Some carriers charge extra for the same load board or may offer expedited freight at premium rates. Some charge for additional services by tweaking their terms and conditions.so pay only for the services you require to avoid any penalties on future.

  3. Try to ensure that weight and freight class are accurate on the initial Bill of Lading: After the first pickup, the load is transported to the carrier’s first hub where it is weighed once again to confirm that the Class on the Bill of Lading is similar to the Company’s class standard. Any mismatch enters the freight into a new category and the price changes accordingly Remember, whenever money can be saved, it goes right to profit. Check out Pickmyload’s free load board.
