Mapping Out Your Upcoming Trip
Whether you are moving a small or large shipment, planning an efficient trip is key. By taking the appropriate steps ahead of time, you can reduce the risk of running into annoying delays down the road, which can save you both time and money. At C & S Transportation, we can help you begin mapping out your upcoming trip so that you can have a clear and comprehensive idea of the entire journey.
How Much Space Will You Need?
The first step in planning your trip is determining how much space you will need to transport your cargo. The route that you take can vary wildly depending on how much cargo you have to move how quickly. It may surprise you, but smaller loads typically require different forms of shipping. If your cargo weighs between 150 and 10,000 pounds, ask us about our LTL freight services. This type of shipping transportation is a fantastic middle ground, as smaller shipments would likely be moved by parcel carriers and anything exceeding 10,000 pounds would need full truckload services (FTL).
Consider Cost
Another thing to keep in mind when mapping out your upcoming trip is how much it will cost from start to finish. As we all know, keeping your bottom line in mind is important at every step of the way. The different ways that you map out your trip can influence how efficient the trip is, how long it takes, and your bottom line.
LTL, which stands for "less than a truckload,” is a great option when it comes to overall cost. For starters, this type of transport only requires you to pay for the space that you use. This stands in stark contrast to other options where you need to cover the cost of the entire truck. As a result, this cost-effective option is perfect for small business owners.
On top of that, LTL shipping also provides the opportunity to leave on your terms. The built-in agility means that you won't have to stockpile products inside a warehouse, which can be a costly endeavor.
Beneficial Time Frames
Speaking of warehouses, having the ability to leave on your schedule is great when it comes to navigating an ever-changing market. This, of course, can go a long way when mapping out your upcoming trip, as shipments can be sent out on exactly when you want them to. Without the unnecessary hurdle of filling trucks at times outside of your control, you can get back on the road when you want and how you want each and every time.
Create Your Ideal Trip
What if you instead your cargo ends up having to move through various shipping methods? At first it may sound like mapping out a trip like this would be a massive headache, but this is something that we handle quite often. We are experts when it comes to multimodal transportation ; this service can include plane (air), train (rail), truck (road), or ship (sea), which presents the option to completely customize your journey. And, due to the fact that we offer a single tracking number, you can count on a seamless process from start to finish.
