LTL & Full Truckload Freight Shipping Within the USA

One pallet or a trailer’s worth. Your freight deserves to see the country.

Where are we taking this thing?

  • California → Texas. We’re in a committed relationship. Weekly scheduled LTL connecting nine terminal cities, with pickup and delivery beyond them. Very much a regular thing.
  • The other states? We know people. LTL and full truckload across the lower 48 through our carrier network. We book it and chase the updates. You skip the carrier speed dating.

Our M.O.

Less guessing. Less chasing. More shipping.

1

Send the details. Skip the guesses.

Send ZIP codes, pallet count, packaged dimensions, total weight and contents. Include your freight class and NMFC item number if known. Otherwise, we’ll help check. “About four feet” gets expensive when it’s five.

2

Compare the options. Pick your ride.

Get suitable LTL and full truckload options, with dry van or intermodal service where available. Compare pricing, estimated transit times and delivery requirements. Liftgate or appointment needed? We factor that into the quote.

3

Book it. Get pickup-ready.

We book the carrier and send your bill of lading and pickup instructions. You have the freight packaged, labeled and ready. Share your receiving hours and pickup reference so the driver knows the drill.

4

Get updates. Leave the chasing.

Moto monitors your shipment and sends updates along the way. Missed pickup, terminal delay or delivery issue? We follow up with the carrier and explain the next steps. No adopting another carrier’s hold music.

5

Get delivery confirmed. Paperwork included.

You receive proof of delivery and help reviewing unexpected carrier charges. Reweigh or reclassification? We check the supporting details and question discrepancies. You shouldn’t need to become an LTL billing expert to understand the invoice.

Before you book

Measure the pallet. Not just what’s on it.

US LTL rates depend on the goods, their freight class, weight and the space they take up. Accurate details help prevent reweighs, reclassification and a bill that looks nothing like the quote.

Right: the full shipment

Measure outside edge to outside edge. Height starts at the floor. The pallet counts.

Wrong: just the goods

Measuring the box leaves things out. Include the pallet, the packaging and any overhang.
  • Packaged length, width and height. Measure the outermost points, including overhang, wrapping and strapping.
  • Total weight. Goods, pallet and packaging included.
  • A clear product description. Include the freight class and NMFC item number if known.
  • Stacking and access requirements. Can other freight go on top? Does either location need a liftgate?

Density helps determine freight class. It doesn’t tell the whole story. Handling, stowability and liability also matter under the NMFC classification system.

Delivered. And reviewed.

Take it from the people doing the shipping.

We use Moto multiple times weekly. Their portal is very easy to use, the team is incredibly responsive and always provides the best rates. Our rep (Christina) is incredible, often responding in under 2 minutes to any inquiries we have. Tracking shipments is a breeze due to their system providing location updates daily while shipments are in transit. If I could give 10 stars, I would! Highly recommend for all your transportation needs, LTL or FTL

Give them a shot, you won’t be disappointed.

Moto Transportation is amazing! I wish I could give them 10 stars! They went above and beyond to help me move a giant piece of furniture. It was even more difficult considering the location and space I asked for, and additionally, I was out of town when all of this took place!!! Moto Transportation went through so much trouble to help me and they were so professional and patient. Office manager John, logistic coordinator Tony and Orlando, the clearance department, and the lovely office staffs Mariam and Anastasia. They thought of all the details I would never have thought of.

US freight shipping FAQs

Land of the freight. Home of the answers.

Coverage & shipping options

Where does Moto offer freight shipping within the USA?

We arrange freight shipping across the lower 48 through our carrier network.

Send your pickup and delivery ZIP codes so we can confirm coverage, available services and estimated timing for your shipment.

Can I ship one pallet, or do I need a full truckload?

One pallet is fine. LTL, or less-than-truckload, lets your freight share trailer space with other shipments. Full truckload reserves a trailer for your load.

We compare the options based on space, weight, handling and timing. There’s no magic pallet count where one suddenly becomes the better deal.

Pricing & freight class

How much does LTL freight shipping within the USA cost?

The price depends on the route, packaged dimensions, weight, commodity, applicable freight class and services required.

Send those details, including any liftgate, residential or appointment requirements. We’ll compare suitable options and explain what the quote includes. One pallet doesn’t mean one standard price.

What’s the difference between freight class and an NMFC number?

An NMFC item number identifies the applicable commodity listing and classification requirements. Freight class is the rating category used in LTL pricing.

Density matters, but handling, stowability and liability can matter too. Send your product description, packaged measurements and weight, and we’ll help check. A density calculator is a starting point, not the whole answer.

Why is my freight invoice different from the quote?

A carrier may find different dimensions, weight or freight class, or provide services that weren’t included in the booking. Liftgate service, limited-access locations, waiting time, storage or redelivery can add charges.

Tell us the requirements upfront. If an adjustment appears, we check the supporting details and question discrepancies.

Pickup & delivery

How long does LTL shipping take, and is delivery guaranteed?

Timing depends on the route, carrier, service and pickup and delivery requirements. Standard transit times are estimates, and a delivery appointment doesn’t automatically make the transit guaranteed.

If your date is firm, tell us before booking so we can check expedited or guaranteed options and explain their terms.

Can you arrange same-day freight pickup?

Sometimes, depending on the carrier’s capacity, local route and your ready and closing times.

Send requests as early as possible, ideally before noon at the pickup location. We’ll check availability and tell you what’s possible. A submitted request still needs carrier confirmation.

Can you deliver freight to a home or somewhere without a loading dock?

Yes, where suitable service is available. Tell us if either location is residential or lacks a dock or forklift.

A liftgate may be needed to move freight between the trailer and ground, subject to size and weight limits. Inside delivery, unpacking and moving goods upstairs are separate services.

Preparation & tracking

How should I prepare my pallet, and what paperwork do I need?

Use suitable packaging and a sound pallet, secure the goods and label the shipment clearly. Measure and weigh everything as it will travel, including the pallet and packaging.

We provide the bill of lading and shipping instructions for your booking. Check that the details match the freight before handing it over.

How do I track my shipment, and who handles delays?

Check shipment information and documents through your Moto portal. Our team also monitors the move and sends updates.

If a pickup is missed or delivery plans change, we follow up with the carrier and explain the next steps. You call Moto. We do the carrier chasing.
