How to Arrange Inside Pickup and Delivery with FreightCenter
Arranging Inside Pickup and Delivery with FreightCenter is easy and tailored to meet your needs.

Once you’ve selected your carrier, book your shipment directly through FreightCenter, and our team will handle all the logistics from there. Before pickup, ensure your shipment is securely packed and labeled, and communicate any specific placement instructions to our team. On the day of pickup, the carrier will transport your freight to its destination and provide inside delivery based on your specifications. Throughout the process, you can track your shipment in real time with FreightCenter’s tracking tools, ensuring you stay informed from start to finish. Our Inside Pickup and Delivery Service offers hassle-free, door-to-door solutions designed for convenience, safety, and reliability.
Commercial Inside Delivery
When the shipper requests inside delivery, the freight is delivered beyond the roadside to just inside the front door of a commercial building if accessible by a pallet jack. The service does not include bringing the freight up an elevator or down any long hallways that require precise movements.
When delivering to a dock, the driver can move the freight beyond the threshold if they have a pallet jack. The service does not include breaking down the cargo and removing the debris. An additional fee may be requested for that type of service. It is separate from a standard inside delivery service charge.
Residential Inside Delivery
A standard delivery at a residence occurs at the end of a driveway or the curb. If the freight needs to be brought to a porch or garage, then inside delivery would be required. The driver can get the cargo to the entry of a garage if it’s a non-gravel driveway without a steep slope. It’s the driver’s discretion whether they cross the threshold of the garage. (Most carriers will not enter and place an item in the garage since it’s inside the home.) However, a driver may let you use their pallet jack to maneuver the freight to a location inside the garage. It’s based on the driver’s discretion.
Inside delivery does not include bringing freight into a home or beyond the porch. If the driver is going to get the cargo to a porch, there would need to be no steps as they have nothing to lift the freight with. That would require a more specialized service like white glove delivery if the cargo needed to be brought inside the home. The same conditions apply for inside pickup.

Frequently Asked Questions About Inside Delivery & Inside Pickup Services
Q. What is inside delivery in freight shipping?
Inside delivery is a service where the driver moves your shipment beyond the curb into a building, lobby, garage, or first dry area. It’s useful for residential deliveries or commercial locations without docks.
Q. What is inside pickup?
Inside pickup means the carrier retrieves the shipment from inside your home or building rather than a curb or dock. It’s often used for returns, business closures, or non-dock commercial pickups.
Q. Do I need inside delivery for residential shipments?
Yes, if you can’t move the freight from the curb or if you want it placed in a garage, foyer, or first room. Inside delivery is highly recommended for heavy or bulky items sent to homes.
Q. Will the carrier take the freight up stairs or through elevators?
No. Standard inside delivery stops at the first threshold or ground-level room. If you need stair or elevator service, ask about white glove or specialized services.
Q. How much does inside delivery cost?
It varies by location and access requirements. Residential inside delivery typically costs $100–$250, while commercial delivery ranges from $75–$200. Quotes are customized and vary based on specific delivery requirements.
Q. Is inside delivery available for LTL shipments?
Yes. LTL freight shipments can include inside delivery or pickup if arranged in advance. Let us know during booking so we can confirm carrier availability.
Q. How do I request inside delivery or pickup when booking?
When you get your quote from FreightCenter, select “inside delivery” or “inside pickup” as an accessorial service or tell your freight agent and they’ll add it for you.
Q. Do I need to be present for inside delivery or pickup?
Yes. Someone must be present to grant access to the building, sign paperwork, and guide the driver to the drop-off or pickup point.
Q. Can inside delivery be scheduled at a specific time?
Most carriers provide a delivery window (e.g., 9–12 or 1–5). Exact time appointments may be available with appointment accessorials or for an extra fee.
Q. What if the entrance is too small for my shipment?
Measure your doorways and freight carefully. If your shipment won’t fit, the carrier may leave it at the curb. Be sure to plan for tight spaces or let us know about any restrictions.
Q. What equipment does the driver use for inside delivery?
Most inside services involve liftgates, pallet jacks, or dollies. Drivers are not required to uncrate or assemble anything just move the shipment inside.
Q. Is white glove service the same as inside delivery?
No. White glove service includes setup, assembly, placement in specific rooms, and removal of debris. Inside delivery is more limited and stops at the first dry area.
Q. Can I add inside pickup for a return shipment?
Yes. Inside pickup is available for returns and is commonly used for bulky product pickups or business relocation freight. We’ll coordinate everything with your carrier.
Q. What if I forget to request inside delivery and the truck arrives?
If inside delivery isn’t scheduled in advance, the driver may not be able to perform it and you may face delays or reattempt fees. Always add it when booking.
Q. Why choose FreightCenter for inside freight services?
We simplify the process, compare carriers for the best rates, and make sure your inside delivery or pickup is clearly planned and executed. Plus, you’ll always have a freight expert ready to help if something changes.
