1. Efficient Pickup
Your partial load is collected by our professional drivers directly from your facility, handled with the precision of a dedicated carrier.
2. Smart Consolidation
At our central hub, your freight is expertly organized and consolidated with other shipments heading to the same destination corridor.
3. Value Delivery
The truck completes all regional drops. You pay only for the linear feet or pallet space your goods actually consume.
When to Choose LTL Shipping
Small, Frequent Shipments
Perfect for loads between 150 and 15,000 pounds. Maintain your supply chain rhythm without waiting to fill an entire 53-foot trailer.
Cost Conscious Growth
By sharing trailer space, you leverage the buying power of a full truckload. Dramatically lower your per-unit expenses while maintaining service quality.
Flexible Transit Times
Strategic for non-time-critical freight. While LTL involves sorting at hubs, New Era’s optimized routing ensures your freight stays in motion.
Accessorial Requirements
We offer specialized roadside support, liftgates, and residential delivery services—essential for many LTL final-mile scenarios.
Understanding LTL Rates & Freight Class
Unlike dedicated hauling, LTL rates are precision-calculated based on weight, distance, and Freight Class. This standardized classification system (NMFC) ensures fairness based on density, handling, and value.
Freight Class can often be confusing for growing businesses, impacting your bottom line if labeled incorrectly. Whether you are shipping heavy industrial parts or lightweight consumer goods, your classification matters.
Don't worry about the technical details—our logistics experts classify your freight for you to ensure you receive the most accurate and competitive rate possible.
