cross country shipping made simple and reliable

What it really involves

Moving freight or parcels from coast to coast means coordinating carriers, modes, and timelines. Depending on size and urgency, you might choose parcel, LTL, or FTL service, sometimes with consolidation to cut costs. Good partners provide end-to-end tracking, damage prevention, and clear proofs of delivery, plus optional insurance for peace of mind.

How it works

You request a quote with exact dimensions, weight, and pickup details; the provider books capacity, sets a pickup window, and routes through regional hubs before final delivery. Expect seasonal surges, weather delays, and appointment rules at some destinations, so build in a buffer and confirm any special accessorials like liftgate or inside delivery.

Costs and timing

Rates reflect distance, freight class, density, fuel, and delivery type. Economy options are cheaper but slower; expedited lanes cost more yet trim days off transit, typically ranging from two to seven business days across the lower 48.

Preparation checklist

• Measure, weigh, and photograph every piece.
• Use sturdy boxes or crated pallets with tight cushioning.
• Label clearly and include a scannable packing list inside.
• Schedule pickup, verify coverage, and save tracking numbers.
