Freight Terms Explained

Open each card for a plain-language explanation of common freight services and delivery requirements.

What Is Freight Shipping?

Freight shipping is used for items that are too large, heavy, fragile, or bulky for standard parcel carriers. Equipment is often secured to a pallet and moved through an LTL freight carrier network.

When Do I Need Freight?

You may need freight when an item exceeds parcel size or weight limits, needs palletized handling, requires dock delivery, or involves commercial equipment that cannot safely move through small-package networks.

What Is Lift Gate Service?

Lift Gate Service is a platform on the back of a freight truck that lowers freight from truck height to ground level when the delivery location does not have a loading dock or forklift. The added service fee is $74.99.

What Is Residential Freight?

Residential freight is delivery to a home or non-commercial address. Carriers often require appointments and may charge additional residential or lift gate fees. Residential Delivery is $98.00.

What Is Limited Access Delivery?

Limited Access Delivery applies to locations with access restrictions, such as schools, storage facilities, construction sites, government buildings, trade shows, or other locations where a standard delivery may take extra time. Limited Access Delivery is $98.00.

What Is Notify Before Delivery?

Notify Before Delivery means the carrier provides delivery notification before the delivery attempt. This service is $44.99.

What Is Call Upon Arrival?

Call Upon Arrival means the driver contacts the receiver upon arrival. This service is $44.99.
