White Glove
White glove service extends services beyond those of the LTL carrier. FreightCenter offers a range of white glove services to fit your need.
White glove shipping service provides the highest level of service and support for your delicate cargo. That means drivers go above and beyond the standard curbside pickup and delivery freight service provided by carriers. White glove delivery covers extended services outside of these responsibilities, which the LTL carrier does not offer.
Simply, white glove service means that drivers use added care with handling and moving cargo. In freight shipping, this means taking additional safety measures to deliver your shipment, and you don’t lift a finger.
