If you have goods that are sensitive to climate conditions (produce, flowers, chocolate, etc.), you
will want to consider temperature controlled shipping. Freight service providers will assist you
throughout the process.
Great question and something our team of experts can help you determine. LTL is typically ideal for
freight shipments larger than parcel or small package, but short of the space required of a
full truckload shipments. However, other factors like distance and value may play into the decision.
