Young enough to still care about Truckers.
Why AFC? We’re old enough to know Trucking
We founded AFC, in 2012 as a family-owned company. One that hasn’t lost touch with the real lives of truckers. From our headquarters based based in Gary,IN , we’ve worked to build a company that works together, is motivated and happy. We specialize in flatbed, step deck, and Conestoga freight; primarily transporting machinery, steel, building materials, and industrial equipment in all 48 states. We also haul reefer freight as well. We invite you to come be a part of our exciting growth.
FTL stands for Full Truckload. A shipment that is over 10,000lb or takes up an entire truck by
itself is considered Full Truckload. One of the main characteristic of an FTL Services is that it
will take your shipment on a long haul, making one trip from point A to Point B without transferring
the cargo.
LTL stands for Less Than Truckload. If you have 200 pounds of freight to transport, you’ve got an LTL
shipment. It takes just a section of the truck and the cargo is safely consolidated with other shipments
that may be picked up and distributed in the same area.
Adjustments can be costly, but can mostly be avoided with accurate information.
Common adjustments occur around oversized items (more than 12 feet in length), lift-gates,
limited delivery access, residential fees, reclassifications and changes to the bill of lading.
