Generally, the maximum weight of a shipment is around 34,000- 45,000 Lbs, while the maximum height of freight is limited to 102 inches. However, this is dependent on the weight of the vehicle (some trucks may be able to scale heavier) and the state's local laws.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is The Maximum Size and Weight of a Shipment You Can Provide?
Where to Find Shipping Documents I Need?
There are a number of important shipping documents required to transport freight. Most can be found online. However, if done incorrectly, your freight will not reach its intended destination. We recommend hiring a 3PL company to handle this administrative process to prevent unnecessary delays along the way.
What is Load-to-Ride?
Freight orders loaded onto a truck and taken directly to their destination are referred to as load-to-ride shipments. This term is used to describe larger pallet count LTL shipments and often includes orders from multiple companies to solve transportation problems and deliver items to customers en-route, without cross-docking.
What are Freight Terms of Sale?
Freight terms of sale identify who is responsible for the payment of freight and are usually expressed as prepaid or collect. Within these two categories, there are the following options: prepaid to a stated location, collect beyond or the third party or pre-pay and add. They are often specified in the quote, contract, or general terms & conditions.
What is Freight Forwarding?
Freight forwarding is the process in which a person or company organizes shipments on behalf of companies or individuals. They ensure goods get from the manufacturer to a market, customer, or final point of distribution. Forwarders usually have contracts with multiple carriers to move goods along the supply chain.
What is Freight Class?
Freight class is a shipping industry pricing classification that enables the standardization of prices across all LTL freight carriers and businesses, including brokers and warehouses. It is determined by the National Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) and based on different factors such as ease of handling, value, weight, length, height, density, and liability.
