Calling us toll-free and talking directly to a freight agent is another easy way to schedule a pickup. Freight agents are on staff six days a week for extended hours to assist with all your scheduling needs. They will be able to add notes, such as a driver confirming pick-up with a call before arrival. Additional requirements may be requested from the agent assisting with your shipment. An email confirmation will also be sent along with a BOL after a shipment is arranged. Please verify all details of the email and contact us with any schedule changes or situations.

Can I Schedule a Shipment and Have It Picked Up on the Same Day?

Yes, but this service cannot be guaranteed due to our carriers’ capacity. Please allow a 4-hour window before your docks close so FreightCenter can dispatch a driver to your location within that same day.

When Do Carriers Schedule Pickups?

Please note that carriers normally make pickups in the afternoon and deliver in the morning.
