Choosing Freight Carriers
Selecting the right ground freight carriers in North America can be complex. Do you need temperature-controlled vans? Special handling? Full truckload (FTL)? For international shipments, like those to and from Canada and Mexico, it’s crucial to choose a company with the expertise to manage cross-border freight transportation. Avoid companies that overpromise and underdeliver.
Managing Limited Access Fees
Limited access charges can be frustrating, often resulting from carriers exploiting inspection opportunities. If your LTL shipping bill includes such a charge, immediately contact your account manager to audit the carrier. Limited access fees typically apply to locations without a standard loading dock or those difficult to access by semi-trailers.
Avoiding Reclassification Costs
Some carriers may reclassify your shipment to increase costs. Freight classification depends on value, stowability, handling, and density. To avoid reclassification, document everything—take pictures, record weight and dimensions, and save the packing slip. Understanding the National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) index can also help avoid unnecessary charges.
Know the NMFC
The National Motor Freight Classification index is a complex and changing guide. Often Freight All Kinds (FAK) rates can save money, or adjusting packing can lower your rates. Your 3PL can help you assign an NMFC number and class to put on the BOL. The more information you provide on the BOL, the more you’ll lessen interest from the respective inspection teams.
Avoid Re-Bills
Re-bills can inflate your shipping costs, with adjustments affecting 12-15% of LTL shipments. At MoveIt®, our operations team evaluates each re-bill claim, challenging carriers to provide proper documentation, often eliminating unjustified charges.
