Carrier Lanes
The term "lanes" is used interchangeably to refer to carrier lanes, freight lanes and shipping lanes. Learn what lanes are and why they matter.
What are Carrier Lanes?
When referring to carrier lanes, one may be referencing anything from a freight lane, trucking lane or shipping lane. In each case, the lane refers to the route routinely served by the carrier.
Establishing lanes in which they operate reduces waste for LTL carriers, independent operators and large retail trucking operations. It’s a lot more cost effective to operate in a dedicated lane instead of trying to serve everyone everywhere with the same fleet of vehicles.
We provide competitive freight shipping prices and an all-inclusive, easy-to-use shipping experience for our customers. Exceeding our customers’ expectations results in thousands of satisfied customer reviews and repeat business. We believe in the power of our customer relationships.

Regional Ltl Carrier Lanes
Not all carriers operate nationally. Many LTL carriers operate within a fixed region of the country where they have established lanes. One of the advantages of working with a freight broker like FreightCenter is that we work with both national and regional LTL carriers. Sometimes, you can save money by booking a regional carrier that is working its lane effectively.
National Ltl Carrier Lanes
National LTL carriers establish lanes that operate within defined regions as well as long haul lanes that traverse those regions and carry freight a great distance. A shipment may start within a carrier’s regional lane and be moved to a hub from which a long haul truck picks it up to take it across the country.
