THE HISTORY OF ICD FREIGHT
Our history of starting out as a trucking company back in 1957 gives us a broad understanding of the commitment and hard work it takes to deliver on-time. Nothing moves without a carrier, so we appreciate what drivers mean to the industry and focus on driver’s needs in conjunction with the shipper’s goals.
ICD Freight’s varied experience in the transportation industry has taught us the importance of building long-term relationships with drivers, shippers and receivers. We know that communication, flexibility and problem solving come together to complete the delivery.
Our 60 + years in the transportation industry has also taught us that this industry does not sit still. Just like drivers need to keep moving in order to be successful, ICD Freight has to do the same. Utilizing technology and keeping up with industry trends help us remain competitive and relevant in this fast-paced, constantly changing environment.
The bill of lading (BOL) acts as an invoicing receipt in the shipping industry, and with many
motor carriers, the BOL is the contract of carriage between that motor carrier and the shipper.
It includes important information related to the shipment such as addresses, packaging type,
freight class, description of the goods and any special instructions.
There are 18 freight classes. They are determined by weight, dimensions, density, storage capability,
ease of handling, value and liability from instances like theft, damage, breakability and spoilage.
To help you determine freight class, we’ve developed a freight density calculator.
