Interstate Shipping Partner

Being your interstate shipping partner is a cost-effective method of transporting less than truckloads and full or partial truckloads throughout the United States and Canada.

FreightCenter offers the most competitive rates on freight shipped interstate on trucks. We work with top carriers specializing in all modes of transportation, ensuring that we have a service that fits any need.

What Exactly is Interstate Shipping

Interstate freight is freight that is hauled across state lines. Interstate freight companies move the highest tonnage and value of freight in the United States over any other mode of transportation.

Intrastate Shipping vs. Interstate Shipping

Interstate Intrastate Shipping implies that the motor carrier transports goods in multiple states or travels through several states to transport their goods. Intrastate shipping means that the motor carrier transports goods ONLY in one state or within a state.

For Example: if a shipment were picked up in California and delivered to California, it would be considered an Intrastate shipment. If the same shipment were picked up in California and then delivered to Texas, that would make it an Interstate shipment.

What to Expect from interstate shipping with FreightCenter

Domestic freight service mainly involves trucks that move quickly and frequently along interstates that connect every state and major cities. FreightCenter specializes in interstate shipping or transportation for rates and services from the best carriers in the business, and discover the difference we make on your bottom line.

There’s no question that we live in a world of deliveries. From groceries to cars, the average consumer has come to expect a delivery option for nearly all products.

E-commerce is no longer limited to the likes of eBay and Amazon. Brick-and-mortar stores need shipping solutions as consumers continue to demand delivery.

In 2021, over 100 billion shipments were shipped worldwide — about 3,000 shipments per second. That number is forecasted to more than double by 2028. If your business keeps up, especially as we head into peak shipping season, you’ll need a reliable, multi-carrier shipping partner like FreightCenter. Here are three reasons why.

1. Best-in-class customer experience

It’s often said that retaining existing customers is much cheaper than acquiring new ones. When customers are happy, they will continue to give you their business without you spending marketing dollars on them.

Making customers happy is not just about providing a great product or service. To make a customer truly happy, you must enhance the customer experience, including the shipping process.

Recall the last time you ordered something that did not arrive when promised or had incorrect tracking data. Because customers are less likely to purchase a product again if they have terrible shipping or return experience, it’s essential to have a shipping partner that offers a variety of carriers, times, prices, delivery options, and reliable tracking.

2. Significant Cost savings

Freight Rates are associated with high shipping volumes. In short, due to FreightCenter’s massive shipping, we can acquire significant interstate shipping discounts to pass on to our clients. These savings, however, are not easily accessible to most businesses.

The more you ship with them, the more data they have on your business and customers. They can use this data to enhance your throughput, saving you money and time.

3. Giving you Peace of mind

For many companies, shipping rates are the most significant variables – and one that ultimately causes the most headaches. Interstate shipping rates fluctuate more than you realize, and you may not be getting the same bang for your buck as you did before.

Knowing when to ship interstate with one carrier over another can be challenging. A good shipping partner will offer real-time analytics to help you make the best shipping decisions.

This will be especially important during the peak shipping season in 2021. Surcharges and shipping delays are almost inevitable during this time, and the unprepared will disappoint their customers.

Having a reliable shipping partner will give you the Peace of mind you need to focus on growing your business. Sign up to make an account with FreightCenter and make shipping simple.
