Truckload Freight Delivery to Manitou Springs, (CO)

The transportation business tends to make things more complicated than they need to be. You may have come across some ambiguous terminologies used by businesses to appear more "authoritative."

The term "residential freight delivery" is one such example. You may have come across the abbreviation "RFD" on shipping websites and wondered what it stands for.

Online orders are on the rise, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic 80 percent of all businesses went online. Due to this reason, shipments and delivery services were in great demand. With the click of a button, anything and everything was delivered to you at home. Business owners who also had to shut down their shops due to the pandemic were able to go online and resume working via online deliveries.

A truck driver must know the type of freight they are transporting and whether that freight is interstate or intrastate. It can be hard to differentiate between the two types of freight, but we're here to help!

Intrastate and interstate significantly impact the types of loads you can transport and the equipment you need. Even though it's easier to start by only hauling intrastate, you'll have fewer options for loads and, as a result, less money to spend.

Most independent owner-operators and small fleets should begin with an interstate trucking company because it gives them more options and improves their success.
