What is Freight Shipping Service Across the Country?
Freight shipping services across the country involve transporting large quantities of goods, often in bulk, between different states in the country, regions, including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico, and even to other countries around the world. These goods can range from consumer products, such as electronics and clothing, to raw materials, including lumber and steel.
Nationwide Freight Hauling utilizes trucks, trains, planes, and ships to establish a cost-effective logistics system, which is essential for maintaining efficient national supply chains.
Most popualr methods of Freight Shipping in the U.S.
- • Ground Freight - Full Truckload and Less Than Truckload (LTL)
- • Full Truckload (FTL): In the trucking business and service, Full Truckload (FTL) is a shipping method where a single shipment fills an entire truck trailer for a specific customer. FTL is ideal for large, fragile items, as well as for the fastest deliveries and fewer stops, with fixed pick-up and delivery times.
- • Less-than-Truckload (LTL): Multiple shipments from various customers can share space on a single truck to reduce shipping costs, with pricing determined by factors such as weight, freight class and distance. Less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping is designed for freight weighing between 150 and 15,000 pounds—too heavy for standard parcels but not enough to fill an entire truckload. These shipments are also palletized for efficient handling and transportation.
- • Rail Freight Transportation: Rail freight involves transporting goods by train, efficiently moving large quantities of bulk materials and containers over long distances. It's cost-effective for heavy and non-perishable items due to lower costs per ton-mile, high capacity, and reduced environmental impact compared to trucking.
- • Air Freight Shipping: Air freight is the quickest way to send items using airplanes, making it perfect for urgent shipments or valuable and perishable goods. While it tends to cost more, it offers options like sending your package on the very next flight. It also handles special items, such as hazardous materials or live animals, and encompasses every step, from sending the package out of the country to receiving it at its destination.
- • Ocean Freight Shipping: Ocean freight shipping involves moving goods in standardized containers on large vessels across oceans. It's a cost-effective way to transport bulk and oversized cargo over long distances, despite being the slowest mode of freight transportation.
- • Intermodal Freight Transport: Intermodal freight transport moves cargo using multiple transportation methods (truck, rail, ship, or air) in a single journey, utilizing standardized containers for seamless transfer. This way of transportation offers cost savings, environmental benefits and increased efficiency, but demands significant infrastructure investment.
Common Freight Shipping Types
- Palletized merchandise and goods
- Machinery and oversize equipment
- Any vehicles and motorcycles
- Agricultural and farming products and equipment
- Retail and stock inventory
- Items that require refrigeration or are sensitive to temperature.

ADDRESSING COST DIFFERENCE TO HAULING
Owning a tractor or other piece of heavy equipment is a major investment, and shipping that cargo is another one. At Tractor Transport, we understand what goes into owning and operating heavy machinery, so when our clients have special considerations for their orders, we listen.
Our drive-away service involves entrusting your equipment to another operator who will independently transport it to your destination. This option is most typically used when the transport distance is in a range that makes sense for a given case, and a drive-away option typically ends up saving our clients money in the long run.

TRACTOR TRANSPORT OFFERS AN EXTENSIVE RANGE OF TRAILER CHOICES TO HAUL YOUR AIR SEEDERS
FLATBED
TRANSPORT SERVICES
Our most versatile and commonly used trailer by far is the standard flatbed trailer, made evident by the sheer number of them on the road every day. A great aspect of flatbed trailer shipping is the stability of the bed and the fact that these common carriers come in a wide variety of sizes and dimensions. A flatbed trailer, as the name suggests, is marked by a flat trailer surface that's able to be loaded with stability by balancing and securing cargo on the outside edges of the trailer.

RGN (REMOVABLE GOOSENECK)
TRANSPORT SERVICES
The Removable Gooseneck (RGN) trailer has a detachable front end that turns the trailer into a ramp. Past the detachable section of the trailer, RGNs are equipped with a double drop formation that lends the payload an extra amount of height, usually around 12 extra inches. The variable nature of the RGN trailer allows it to accommodate cargo that is more difficult for less flexible trailers. Referred to as a "detach", the RGN is ideal for transporting less than standard cargo, equipment that is longer, taller, or otherwise a non-normal size.

EXT. RGN (REMOVABLE GOOSENECK)
TRANSPORT SERVICES
Similar to the standard Removable Gooseneck Trailer, the extended RGN has an added section for additional length and capacity for particularly tricky transport jobs. When cargo is too long for the standard Removable Gooseneck (RGN), we sometimes employ the extended RGN. Like the standard RGN, the back portion of the stretch RGN is removable, creating a convenient ramp. The extended RGN has a versatile extension feature that allows it to meet an increased number of length requirements for cargo.

DROP DECK
TRANSPORT SERVICES
A drop deck, or "step deck" trailer resembles a standard flatbed model with a single drop in order to give the trailer the capacity for more cargo height. This is especially advantageous when the payload exceeds the standard height requirements for a regular flatbed. This is especially advantageous when the payload exceeds the standard height requirements for a regular flatbed. For especially large or oddly sized pieces of equipment, the drop deck trailers present a uniquely ideal solution; tractors, farming combines and large construction and industrial equipment.

EXT. DROP DECK
TRANSPORT SERVICES
When a job necessitates a trailer that can carry an irregularly long piece of equipment or cargo, we employ the extended drop deck trailer. Like a flatbed with either a single or a double attached gooseneck, the extended drop deck gives the user capacity for additional height and length to meet the needs of a specific cargo load. Typically, the extended RGN is more flexible than the standard RGN, so it's only used when absolutely necessary.

LOWBOY
TRANSPORT SERVICES
A lowboy is one of the lowest trailers to the ground, as its name suggests. Many heavy hauling tasks are carried out with the help of the lowboy trailer because of its use for extremely large, heavy, and oversized or over-dimension equipment. Typically when you see a sign that says "Oversize Load" on the interstate, the cargo being hauled is done so with a lowboy trailer. Many shippers use lowboy models as their top choice for these jobs due to their capacity to carry extremely heavy weights of cargo, and their stability as the lowest, off-the-ground option.
