Freightcom's Updates: Peak Surcharges and Holiday Schedule 2024/2025 | CN and CP Rail - Strike Update
Spot quotes are special shipments that fall outside of normal LTL rates or services. You may need a spot quote when automated rates or services do not cover certain kinds of shipments due to the number of pallets, size, weight, or other lane restrictions.
For example, full truckload (FTL) and partial truckload (PTL) pallet shipping fall outside our automated LTL offering. Shipments such as these can require custom freight solutions.
Freightcom’s Spot Quote service can help your business find these solutions with ease and efficiency.
Same-day delivery can often fall outside contracted rates. Also, shipments that have strict delivery appointment windows with companies often require spot quotes.
Unique solutions for specialized freight like refrigeration, same-day shipping, Amazon shipments with strict appointments, air freight, ocean load, oversized, FTL, PTL, and more!
A typical LTL Freight load will fall between 1-6 pallets, or 100 to 10,000 lbs. Shipments that fall just outside these parameters, such as FTL and PTL shipments will require a spot quote.
No more calling multiple carriers and juggling spot rates. We take care of finding the right partner for your specialized shipment, with the best rates available at the time of booking.
Our shipping experts are there for you to help with any shipment you make, from your initial spot quote to your final invoice.
A typical freight contract will not include accommodations such as refrigerated (reefer) trucks, air freight, or ocean freight. These all require individual spot quotes.
