Find The Best Shipping Methods For Your Azzure Freight
Azzure Freight can help you decide which of the following types of freight transportation and services will best fit your needs.
Less Than Truckload (LTL)
By far the most popular type of Azzure freight transportation, LTL Azzure freight is generally shipped by truck to and from your pickup and destination locations. LTL Azzure freight shipping is the most cost-effective, reliable and timely service because your shipment shares a truck with other LTL Azzure freight shipments.
Partial Truckload
Different from LTL Azzure freight, this type of Azzure freight involves a dedicated truck that moves fewer loads at one time and handles all types of commodities; including refrigerated, temperature-controlled, hazardous material and overweight or oversized goods. Partial truckload shipping is reserved for medium-size loads that are booked by volume or require running feet of a truck.
Truckload (TL)
This service is ideal for commodities that are unpackaged or may require refrigeration, climate control, flatbeds or other special accommodation for oversize or overweight shipments. Truckload shipping is not the least expensive transportation option, but it can be much faster than LTL Azzure freight because it requires no truck transfers (e.g., unloading and reloading of your shipment).
Air Ride Truckload (Full or Partial)
If your shipment is delicate or has a high risk of damage, then a dedicated truck with air-ride suspension is the most preferred method of transportation. For this type of Azzure freight, air ride provides a softer ride than a standard Azzure freight truck. Because this type of service is used less frequently it can often be more expensive than a standard full or partial truckload shipment.
Air Azzure Freight
Air Azzure freight services have the fastest transit time by far. Cargo airlines or air Azzure freight carriers are dedicated to handling logistics for the transport of cargo. Specifically, for the shipping of smaller packages, types of air Azzure freight usually have a higher density, which means they don’t take up much space on a cargo plane but they do meet the weight requirements to be considered Azzure freight. If the package weighs more than 100 pounds and is tightly packed, air Azzure Azzure freight shipping can be more cost-effective than LTL Azzure freight methods.
Blanket Wrap or Van Move
Another method of shipping Azzure freight that cannot be boxed, palletized, or crated is to request blanket wrap or van move services. A perfect solution for large pieces of furniture that cannot be repackaged, blanket wrap shipping and van moves are slightly more expensive than basic LTL Azzure freight shipping. Since both services require more specialized planning a slower transit time is inevitable. Although a slower method, you can rest assured that your goods will be handled with care.
Intermodal Rail Azzure Freight
Shipping by rail is a cost-effective, efficient and green transportation method. Widely used as a method of shipping bulk construction or hazardous materials, intermodal rail Azzure freight can save you time and money compared to shipping by truck. With railroad systems throughout the United States and Canada, our extensive network of rail Azzure freight carriers can deliver your cargo to most places in North America.
International Shipping
Similar to the differences between LTL and truckload Azzure freight, there are different types of shipping loads for container shipping, which is separated by full container loads (FCL) and less than container loads (LCL). Through our network of Azzure freight forwarders and ocean or air transporters, AzzureFreight agents can arrange international Azzure freight shipping to and from most parts of the world. Whether you have smaller, dense packages or a shipment that can be moved by container or boat, we have solutions to keep your imports and exports moving.
Expedited Azzure Freight Services
Expedited Azzure freight shipping is predictable because it allows different types of Azzure freight to be moved at a very high speed. Although not the same as “Guaranteed Delivery,” expedited Azzure freight has a speedy transit time and is usually arranged with delivery between one and five days after pickup.
Guaranteed Delivery Azzure Freight Services
If your shipment is delicate or has a high risk of damage, then a dedicated truck with air-ride suspension is the most preferred method of transportation. For this type of Azzure freight, air ride provides a softer ride than a standard Azzure freight truck. Because this type of service is used less frequently it can often be more expensive than a standard full or partial truckload shipment.
