Road freight pricing

What goes into a road freight rate

Six lines make up the cost of moving freight by truck. Your quote itemizes each one, so you compare totals and not just base rates.

Equipment & service

A full truckload pays for the entire trailer, whatever the shipment size; LTL shares the trailer and you pay for the space you use.

Distance & lane

Mileage between pickup and delivery, and the origin and destination cities at each end.

Weight, dimensions & freight class

LTL rates follow density, handling, stowability and liability, the factors behind the 18 freight classes.

Fuel surcharge

Fuel prices move truck rates; our FTL quotes include the fuel surcharge unless otherwise specified.

Speed of service

Expedited and guaranteed service costs more than standard transit, which counts business days and excludes the pickup day.

Additional services

Liftgate, residential areas, hazmat or bonded handling and waiting beyond the free time are quoted separately.

What to know before you ship by truck

Expedited trucking, flexibility, last-mile delivery and industry expertise, with the detail behind each option.

Expedited shipping: for speedy delivery

When your shipment requires speedy delivery, Interworld Freight will arrange an expedited transit. Our expedited trucking freight rates are competitive, and we only work with carriers known for outstanding customer service.

A truckload of care for our customers

At Interworld Freight, we’ve been providing full and partial truckload services across the United States since 1992, so our road freight experts know the industry inside out. They collaborate closely with carriers nationwide, to move our customers’ goods quickly, efficiently, and securely around the country.

Our truck freight rates are affordable because we compete aggressively on price due to our company’s scale and purchasing power, and as a truly customer-centric freight forwarder, the interests of your business are always our primary consideration.

Beyond the operational aspect of road freight transportation, we offer strong, reliable, and timely customer support. Our specialists are always on hand to ensure your logistics needs are met, from the moment you request a truck freight quote until your shipment has been delivered.

In short, whatever your road freight challenge, we have the solution to meet it, so why not get in touch and let us tell you more?

Trucking: the flexible option

Trucks can access virtually any location that has a road network, making them highly flexible for transporting goods to both urban and rural locations. Trucks also come in many shapes and sizes, enabling you to ship just about any cargo, no matter how large, bulky, heavy, small, or fragile, over the road, either domestically, or across international land borders. In some cases, you can even ship truckloads across bodies of water if a roll-on-roll-off (RORO) ferry service is available.

Trucking: the faster option

Trucks are generally faster than other modes of transport, such as trains or ships, especially over shorter distances. FTL shipping is typically a faster method than LTL, simply because with FTL, the shipper has full control of the consignment whereas LTL freight must first be consolidated so it can share truck space with the goods of other shippers, and, of course, it also needs deconsolidation before delivery to its final destination. Expedited shipping, meanwhile, typically guarantees that time-sensitive goods will be delivered securely and on time, albeit at increased truck freight rates.

Trucking: the versatile option

Trucks can carry a wide variety of goods, including hazardous materials, heavy machinery, mining equipment, chemicals, dairy products, refrigerated goods, and a whole lot more besides. In a nutshell: trucks can haul just about anything. Even very large items that would not typically be considered portable, such as heavy plant and industrial equipment, can be transported by road with specialized heavy haulage vehicles.

Specialized trucking: industry-specific expertise

We’re continually upgrading our road freight shipping skills and expertise, and that extends to understanding the needs of specific industries. Our logistics teams boast specialists in goods transportation for the automotive, pharmaceutical, construction, technology, and mining sectors.

Interworld delivery: from the first to the last mile

When you need an end-to-end solution for your supply chain in the United States, we can load your cargo from your warehouse or any location of your choice and transport it to its destination. At the other end of the supply chain, we deconsolidate loads and deliver individual packages to your customers via our last-mile delivery services.

Interworld reliability: experience since 1992

As a road freight forwarder operating since 1992, we’ve moved many thousands of tons of FTL and LTL freight around the United States. During this time, we’ve built a solid reputation for reliability and on-time delivery, as many of our satisfied customers will be pleased to testify.

FAQ

Road freight, answered

What shippers ask us before their first road shipment.
Ask us directly
or call +1 (646) 722-0968

What does an international road transport company do?

+
It moves cargo by truck between warehouses, ports, airports and customers, within one country or across international land borders, and links the road leg with the rest of the shipment. Interworld Freight picks up and delivers at every US ocean terminal, airport and zip code, booked together with our ocean and air freight services.

How is road freight priced?

+
A full truckload is priced per truck and distance, with the fuel surcharge included in the quote. LTL follows weight, dimensions, density and freight class, plus distance and any additional services you request. LTL freight class runs from 50 to 500 under the NMFC, with higher classes for lower-density cargo.

Do you offer expedited road freight?

+
Yes. Expedited LTL can be guaranteed for delivery by noon or by 5 pm, and FTL runs direct from origin to destination when the delivery date can't move. FMCSA hours-of-service rules cap a driver at 11 hours of driving per day, which is why long-haul transit is measured in days.

Do you offer liftgate delivery?

+
Yes, on request. Liftgate service is not part of a standard LTL rate, so mention it when you ask for the quote, along with residential pickups or deliveries and delivery appointments. A liftgate lowers pallets to ground level at locations without a loading dock, and residential or limited-access deliveries are charged as accessorials.

Can road freight connect with my ocean or air shipment?

+
Yes. We move cargo to and from every US ocean terminal and airport, so the road leg is part of one door-to-door lane with a single advisor. Container drayage moves the box between the terminal and the warehouse, with chassis and any per diem or detention charges quoted as part of the lane.

Can I cross-dock cargo in Miami?

+
Yes. At our Miami warehouse cargo moves from inbound to outbound trucks without long-term storage; see cross-docking in Miami. Cross-docking cuts dwell time because pallets are reassigned to outbound trucks in hours instead of being put away in racks.

Can I track my road shipment?

+
Yes: every shipment is trackable live through our tracking portal.

Can you move dangerous goods by truck?

+
Yes. Trucks carry hazardous materials and chemicals when the cargo is classified, packed and labeled, with the documents that travel with the load. Share the UN number and hazard class with the quote, since hazmat handling is priced separately. DOT rules in 49 CFR require shipping papers, placards and a driver with a hazmat endorsement for placarded loads.

Do you handle customs on cross-border road freight?

+
Yes. When a road shipment crosses a border, the export and import documentation travels with the load and clearance is coordinated by the same team that handles customs on our ocean and air shipments. Trucks entering the U.S. need an advance electronic ACE truck manifest, and the importer's entry is filed in ACE under a customs bond.

How do you secure truck capacity when the market is tight?

+
Book as early as the load allows: pickup dates depend on equipment availability, and partial truckloads need at least 48 hours' notice. Moving full and partial truckloads across the US since 1992, we match the load to available equipment and switch to expedited service when the date cannot move.

Is my freight insured on the road?

+
Not in full unless you ask. Carrier liability is limited, on LTL as low as USD 0.10 per pound, and our own liability is limited to the carrier's. Request additional insurance with your quote to cover the cargo value if it is damaged or lost; loads above USD 500,000 must carry it. We help you file and follow up any claim with the carrier.

Are there any restrictions on what can be shipped via road freight?

+
Yes, restrictions can include hazardous materials, oversized or extremely heavy items, and perishables requiring special conditions, depending on country and carrier regulations. Legal dimensions on U.S. highways are 8 ft 6 in wide and, in most states, 13 ft 6 in high, so anything larger needs a state permit.
