Whether you are shipping an entire truckload of cargo or only require a portion of a load, arranging efficient shipping is likely to be top of mind as you think about the upcoming trip. At C & S Transportation, our dedicated and experienced team of specialists can help you determine which type is best for your needs and help you create a successful blueprint for the upcoming journey.

As previously mentioned, there may be cases where what you are hoping to move does not require an entire truck. If this scenario matches your needs, you may want to learn more about our LTL trucking services when arranging efficient shipping. LTL, which stands for less than a truckload, is a sensible solution for many reasons.

When arranging efficient shipping, you will likely be keeping the overall cost in mind. Fortunately, with LTL freight transportation, you will only need to pay for the space that you use. Therefore, this is a great option for small businesses or companies that regularly experience increased or decreased demand. This will in turn allow you to be more dynamic and agile in an ever-changing marketplace. Clients with LTL freight will split the required cost with other clientele who are also paying for the service. Another way that this type of transport reduces your bottom line is by requiring less space inside a warehouse. Due to the fact that merchandise can be moved as soon as it's ready, you will not need to stockpile items at a secondary location.

In other cases, you may find that you need to move your items through different types of transportation. This is where multimodal transportation comes into play. Commonly called combined transport, this may take place over the plane (air), train (rail), truck (road), or ship (sea). Having a centralized tracking number will allow you to quickly check the status and location of your cargo at any time. With preexisting networks and streamlined operations, there are many reasons why this may be a great option for you as you begin arranging efficient shipping.
