Less-Than-Truckload to Matthews, (NC)

There are many different sorts of trucks that are used regularly. A commercial truck is one example of a truck type.

So, what is commercial trucking?

A commercial truck does not refer to any specific type of truck but rather to any truck utilized for business reasons. A commercial truck is any transportation that companies use during their daily operations and any truck used to transport commercial items or deliver commercial services.

Thanks to tracking technologies, shippers can trace their freight at every stage of their trip. When using a TMS (transportation management system), you can have access to tracking and tracing capabilities. 

Using this technology, you can monitor transportation costs, carrier performance, and market trends as you manage your supply chain. Supply chain management relies heavily on tracking shipments.

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.
