Full truckload is the most common way to send large amounts of freight. This is always a single customer with a dedicated trailer for that customer’s product only. Full truckload or (FTL) can be moved with any equipment but the entire truck is dedicated to a single customer’s need. Full truckload can offer benefits such as: reduced risk, expedited service and better rates.
LTL shipping refers to less-than-truckload shipping and is used for freight shipments whose volumes do not fill up an entire trailer. The benefit for LTL shipping is the shipper only pays for the volume their shipment occupies in the trailer often by the pallet. The truck space is then shared with other shippers with low-volume shipments and several stops are made for all the deliveries.
Atloc Logistics has an extensive partnership with seasoned reefer drivers throughout the country. Our carriers are well-versed and knowledgeable with the level of attention a temperature-dependent load needs. From produce as sensitive as tomatoes and flowers to frozen ice cream to a little bit hardier products such as U.S. Mail, climate control is a must for many products. We can partner your business with a reefer driver and move your product to the destination.
For common everyday freight, dry vans are how we move boxed freight from coast to coast. The largest and most common dry van is a 53ft trailer that is usually loaded either from the floor to the ceiling or the product is placed on pallets for easy unload. Dry vans can be either the standard 53 ft trailer or 48 ft trailers. Dry vans are the easiest and largest trailers to carry general freight to a destination.
Trailer Rental is also a resource Atloc provides. Whether you need a Dry van for storage through the week or a Reefer trailer to hold your frozen products while your freezer is being repaired or a new one being built, AtLoc will be there to provide you with the storage equipment you need. Both Dry van and reefer trailers are available throughout the United States.
Tankers are a resource we are expanding upon. Depending on if the tanker is food grade for milk or apple juice or if the tanker is used for fuel, we have some tanker equipment available and able to move these kinds of products. The partners we work with have Hazardous Material endorsements to carry such items safely.
Flatbed is another way to move freight. There are many types of flatbeds, and they all move different kinds of products. We have partners who use Conestoga, step decks, flatbeds, and low boys all to move large equipment to where it is needed. We have many partners with these in their fleet.
