FREIGHT SERVICE
Shipping is a complicated process.
There are different types of freight services for every budget and need.
Our team at Focus West Logistics can help you determine which one will be best suited to meet your specific cargo requirements so that there's no challenge on the road ahead!
Some of the different types of freight options available include:
Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) freight shipping is used when smaller cargo does not require the use of an entire truck trailer. This method of shipping makes up a significant portion of B2B shipping in North America.
Less than truckload (LTL) freight shipping is the perfect solution for businesses who want to save money and time. As an economical approach, LTL freight shipping allows you combine your freight with other companies into one truckload, instead of having to pay for the cost of using the entire truckload.

When you need your freight shipment delivered ASAP, Full truckload (FTL) is the way to go. Full truckload (FTL) freight shipping uses the entire space available in the truck load to carry the freight directly from one shipper to one location.
This type of freight shipping works best for high volume shipments or shipments with additional cargo requirements, as well as cargo shipments that need to arrive at their destination sooner.
Most widely used trailers for FTL shipments are dry vans and flatbeds, but there could be special circumstances regarding your freight that should be examined by a logistics expert like Focus West Logistics.
Intermodal rail freight shipping involves the combination of transportation by rail (train) and truck. Almost always, a rail shipment will need the help of a truck. The truck takes the freight from the rail hub to its final destination.
Compared to shipping by truck, shipping by train can save you both time and money. Intermodal Rail service can be a cost-effective, efficient, and environmentally friendly solution for shipping high volume containers or bulk hazardous materials.
Cargo can also be shipped to most places in North America thanks to the extensive railroad systems throughout Canada and the United States.
