Affordable Residential Shipping to Arlington, MA
Truckers play a critical role in the economy of the United States. The trucking business employs about 6% of all full-time workers in the United States and transports 71% of all freight.
The industry generates one hundred billion dollars in annual income. It connects producers and consumers of everything from gallons of petroleum to milk to a key lifeline.
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.
As the name suggests, LTL or less-than-truckload shipping means that the freight carried by truck in this method of transport is less as compated to a full truckload. This is ideal for small businesses and those that don’t have large volumes of merchandise but still require shipping and transport. Many small businesses benefit from this method of road transport.
