What to ask before booking
For strict appointment-only freight, confirm:
- Do they guarantee appointment windows, or is it “best effort”?
- Can they provide real-time tracking and proof of delivery?
- What is the claims process for damage/loss?
- Is there inside delivery, unpacking, assembly, or debris removal?
- Do they handle high-value security requirements like sealed trailers, GPS tracking, or team drivers?
- Are there accessorial fees for appointments, wait time, liftgate, or limited-access locations?
Best fit depends on freight type
If you tell me:
- origin/destination cities
- freight dimensions/weight
- value of goods
- delivery type (residential, retail, warehouse, office, hospital, etc.)
- time window requirements
- whether you need inside delivery, installation, or liftgate
…I can narrow this down to the best 3–5 options and suggest what service level to request.
