It’s that time of year when kids are sharpening pencils and cracking open new notebooks. And while you might not be sitting in a classroom anymore, a quick refresher on the basics of freight shipping can be just as valuable.
Freight shipping doesn’t need to be complicated. When you break it down to the basics, there are a few key principles that help ensure every shipment arrives safely, on time, and without unnecessary stress.
Here’s a simple A–J guide to help you navigate the essentials:
A – Accuracy
Precise shipment details—like dimensions, weight, and addresses—help avoid delays and unexpected costs. Accuracy sets the stage for a smooth process.
B – Boxes & Packaging
Proper packaging protects your freight. Strong boxes, pallets, shrink wrap, and clear labeling ensure your goods are secure from start to finish.
C – Communication
Staying connected with your freight provider means you’re always in the loop. Clear communication prevents surprises and helps shipments move seamlessly.
D – Delivery Network
