Freight ยท San Antonio, Texas
LTL freight, dock to dock
LTL means less-than-truckload: freight too big for a parcel service that doesn't need a whole trailer. Bueno Enterprise moves small and medium-sized, non-refrigerated loads dock to dock: household, office and industrial items.
Where LTL sits
Between a parcel and a full trailer. Your load shares the trailer, so you pay for the space it takes.
- Smaller
Parcel
Boxes a carrier can lift by hand, sent one at a time.
- This is LTL
Less-than-truckload
One or more pallets sharing a trailer with other shipments, picked up at one dock and delivered to another.
- Larger
Full truckload
A load that fills the whole trailer on its own.
Freight and pallets
What the load is decides how it rides. Each kind needs a few details before a quote.
Freight
Household, office, industrial, medical and art items that aren't refrigerated, from a pickup point to a delivery point.
Have ready: what's in it, and anything fragile or awkward.
Pallets
Palletized loads too small to fill a trailer. Count, footprint, weight and stack height decide how they ride.
Have ready: the pallet count, size and weight, and whether anything can stack on top.
Dock to dock, or liftgate
Dock to dock means freight picked up at one loading dock and delivered to another, so it moves at dock height at both ends instead of by liftgate.
If either end has no dock, say so when you call: access at each end is one of the details that shapes the quote.
