There are many factors in determining a freight shipping price. Here are the right questions to ask to get a good deal<\/span><\/h2>\n

We\u2019re here to help you figure out the right questions to ask when you\u2019re looking for a freight shipping quote. A common question we get asked is how much it costs to ship a certain weight from A to B. Another one is how much it costs to ship a specific commodity such as a hairdresser or car engine from one city to another.<\/span><\/p>\n

These are the questions that can get you, for the lack of a better word, ripped off, for several reasons:<\/span><\/p>\n

Pricing types in freight shipping<\/span><\/h3>\n

The reason you can be taken advantage of if you only ask how much it costs to ship a certain weight is due to pricing types in freight shipping.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are two common types of quote types<\/b> in freight. One is based on <\/span>standard <\/i><\/b>pricing<\/b> and the other is based on <\/span>dynamic <\/i><\/b>pricing<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Standard pricing<\/b>, although it fluctuates, is fairly steady. Standard pricing means that a carrier has a lane (or usually many lanes) that they service regularly. That means that <\/span>they can keep their pricing fairly steady and adjust specific rates based on the details<\/b> of specific shipments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These standard rates used to be valid for up to 30 days at which point they had to be changed due to fluctuations in fuel prices. These days, <\/span>it\u2019s more common for quotes to be valid for up to 7 days<\/b> for the same reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dynamic pricing<\/b>, on the other hand, fluctuates heavily based on demand which allows carriers to control demand by raising or lowering prices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That means that <\/span>you can get an excellent price one day<\/b> (that is usually <\/span>valid for up to 3 days<\/b>) and <\/span>three days later you could get an astronomical quote<\/b> due to a rise in demand and fuel prices.<\/span><\/p>\n

Freight classification<\/span><\/h3>\n

In Canada most (if not all) carriers use density-based classification for freight. Since it\u2019s standardized, it\u2019s rarely going to be a factor for you. All you need to know are your shipment\u2019s <\/span>dimensions and weight and you\u2019re good to go<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the USA, however, the story is a little different, and much more complicated. In the USA, most carriers use the <\/span>NMFC <\/b>(National Motor Freight Classification) standardized by the NMFTA <\/span>(National Motor Freight Traffic Association<\/span><\/a>).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This system uses many more factors other than the weight and dimensions of your cargo to determine its class. Some of the additional factors are <\/span>fragility, maneuverability, stowability<\/b>, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That means that if you\u2019re shipping bricks from Chicago to New Jersey (just as an example), you might get an excellent price. But if you\u2019re shipping lightbulbs on the same lane, you might get charged much more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to get an accurate class for shipping within the USA, your safest bet is to <\/span>reach out to our knowledgeable staff <\/b>via <\/span>online chat<\/span><\/a> or email at clientcare@freightera.com. <\/span>The only way to get a correct class is through ClassIT<\/b>: a subscription-based website that we use regularly. We don\u2019t charge for this service since you <\/span>entering the correct class while quoting for freight on our website is doing everyone a favor<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"A<\/span><\/p>\n

Freight lanes<\/span><\/h3>\n

You may have already known this, but it won\u2019t hurt to go over it again! Shipping lanes are a <\/span>major <\/span><\/i>factor in determining a shipping price.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Generally, <\/span>transporting freight between large cities or large shipping hubs will be cheaper than shipping to remote locations<\/b>. High competition keeps those prices in check. However, if you\u2019re looking to or from small towns from one end of the USA to another end of Canada, you might find that it\u2019s a seller\u2019s market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As we already mentioned, carriers don\u2019t raise prices only because they can. After all, they want your business. However, <\/span>some lanes are barely worth the trouble<\/b> (for the carrier and their drivers) which is why<\/span> demand is controlled by price<\/b> in such cases.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That leads us to <\/span>carrier availability<\/b>. That\u2019s probably a term you\u2019ve heard before. Carriers have a certain number of employees which they have to use as best as they can. Demand is often high and carriers come in to positions where they have to refuse business even if they don\u2019t want to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why shipping to remote locations has to be worth their while. Luckily, <\/span>with Freightera, you will always have a number of options available<\/b> to you. Even if a single carrier is unable to fulfil your order, our team of specialists will find a solution and coordinate with multiple parties if necessary for such situations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/span><\/h3>\n

As you can see, the question of shipping X lbs from one city to another is the wrong question. <\/span>There are numerous factors that go into determining a freight shipping price<\/b>. If you\u2019re shipping within the USA, <\/span>there\u2019s finding the correct class<\/b>. If you\u2019re shipping anywhere at all, there are the <\/span>commodity, dimensions, weight, distance, and carrier availability<\/b>, among others.<\/span><\/p>\n
