FreightCenter.com has been an established third party logistics company since 1998. Over the past 15 years we've focused on building relationships with the best carriers in the industry.  The names you know best like Old Dominion Trucking Company, UPS Freight, YRC and CH Robinson, have entrusted in us the ability to provide them a large volume of shipments every day.  In return these reputable carriers give us discount volume rates which we pass on to you - the shipper! 

So, how do you decide if Old Dominion Trucking Company or YRC will be the best carrier for you? When you run a quote at FreightCenter you'll be provided with both transit times and price. We'll compare hundreds of carriers and display the top results for you.  Each carrier has specific 'lanes' that they ship frequently on.  Presumably the more they use these lanes, the lower the cost will be to you.  Determine what's important to you. If you're on a time constraint talk to an agent about who can provide the best guaranteed shipping options for your freight. 

Additionally, you can check out reviews from like minded shippers and see what type of freight these carriers are best at. While Old Dominion Trucking Company is known for their guaranteed speed service, UPS Freight is the carrier of choice for all Freeman Trade Shows and 50% of GES and Shepard Shows.

Agents at FreightCenter can help you find the best carrier for your shipment.  Call 800-716-7608 to speak with an agent or visit us to learn more.
