One thing that all types of salts have in common is that they are all shipped. Depending on how salt is packaged and what type of vehicle is needed, shipping salt can be done via LTL (less-than-truckload) freight shipping or TL (truckload). Whichever type of shipping you need, FreightCenter can handle it for you.
If you are shipping salt in bulk or shipping more salt than can be shipped vial LTL, your salt shipment will require full truckload service, FreightCenter’s Truckload division will match the right carrier for your shipment. We maintain relationships with hundreds of regional and national freight trucking companies within our network. We excel at finding and booking specialty vehicles. If you need a specialty vehicle like a flatbed, RGN or climate-controlled van for your salt shipping, we’re here to help. Call our Truckload shipping experts at 800.716.7608 to learn more or use our free online quote tool to get started right away.
It is important to know how to properly send pallets to FBA. Following FBA guidelines will help ensure low costs. When you choose to use FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) services, you are handing over the shipping process to one of Amazon’s 75 fulfillment centers. By using FBA, shippers can relax and have the peace of mind that their product(s) will arrive at their destinations in a safe and cost-effective manner. Providing details of your product will help you determine the right shipping methods. Doing this will allow you to pay the lowest cost according to Amazon’s current pricing structure. Amazon FBA has a very simple pricing structure. You pay $2.49 per unit for Amazon to store your product in their fulfillment centers, and they also handle all of the shipping and customer service for you.
