That’s why we’ve created this shipping guide. Whether you are a first-time shipper or just need a quick refresher, our Ultimate Guide to Truckload Shipping will answer questions, offer much-needed tips, and take the confusion out of truckload shipping, so you can get back to building your business. At Opus9 we strive to create a streamlined and efficient shipping process for our customers, so let’s get started! Just the Basics WHEN IS FULL TRUCKLOAD (FTL) SHIPPING THE BEST FTL OPTION? Don’t worry! It’s not as complicated as it seems. With a quick review of truckload shipping and its many benefits, your freight will soon be its way. Let’s get started with the main differences between Less Than Truckload (LTL) and FTL. Weight and Shipment Size: As a rule of thumb - most shipments of between 1 and 6 pallets and under 10,000 lbs can be shipped LTL. Most often LTL freight takes up less than 12 linear feet of a trailer. A full truckload shipment is between 24 and 30 pallets on and up. Because space on the trailer is actually more important than weight, truckload shipments can range from 10,000 lbs. to 45,000 lbs. and up. Handling and Urgency: Simply put, FTL freight is handled less. Once it’s on the truck, it travels to its destination without leaving the truck. Less handling means less opportunity for damages. Fewer stops means that FTL freight reaches its destination as quickly as possible. LTL freight, on the other hand, shares space in a trailer with multiple shipments. This means your freight is unloaded and reloaded and often warehoused while waiting for another truck. This results in much longer transit times and more opportunities for damages. Specialized Equipment: FTL offers shippers more options. If you need a reefer for temperature-controlled shipments, FTL is your best bet as it’s difficult to find space forL TL shipments on a reefer. The same goes for dry vans and open-deck equipment. FTL shipping can handle a variety of different cargo types. In summary, Full Truckload (FTL) shipping and Less Than Truckload (LTL) shipping are two options for different types of freight based primarily on weight and space needed. However, handling considerations and urgency should be considered; as well as, the need for specialized equipment. Sometimes FTL is the best option, even when your load is smaller. Still confused?

A QUICK REVIEW OF TRUCK AND TRAILER TYPES You’ve concluded that your freight should be shipped FTL. What do you need to know about common truckload freight trailer types? Dry Van: Dry van freight is the most common type of freight in the U.S. Nonperishable food and/or beverage items, textiles, clothing, plastics, as well as, building products can be shipped using dry vans. Dry vans are enclosed, weather-resistant, box trailers designed to carry pallets or boxes. They can be as long as 53 feet and are able to haul up to 45,000 pounds of cargo. Reefer: A reefer refers to a refrigerated trailer that transports temperature- controlled cargoes such as frozen seafood, fruits, meat, vegetables, dairy products, as well as, non-food items such as pharmaceuticals, fresh flowers, and film. Flatbed: Widely used, flatbeds are versatile because they can be loaded at the tip, sides, and rear. Flatbeds can carry a maximum weight of around 48,000 lbs and are typically 48 ft to 53 ft long. Because flatbeds are open to the elements, goods transported on flatbeds must either be weather resistant or packaged as such. Step Deck: A variation of the flatbed design, step deck trailers have a bottom and a top deck. They were designed to haul freight that cannot be transported on a regular flatbed, usually because of height restrictions. Conestoga: The rolling tarp system on a Conestoga provides protection for freight while offering the ease of side loading and unloading. While Conestogas are often used for heavy items such as lumber and steel, they are also used for palletized freight. Knowledge is power. With the right information, shippers can access the choice in truckload shipping for a variety of freight types. At Opus9, we specialize in customized solutions for your truckload freight. Our innovative web platform offers customers the ability to book dry van, reefer, and flatbeds on demand in an easy and transparent way. Preparing your Freight for Shipping Now that you have a working knowledge of the benefits of truckload shipping and the variety of equipment available to transport your freight, it’s time to prepare your freight for shipping. Follow these easy steps, and your freight will be on its way. CHECKLIST FOR SHIPPING 1. Inventory your shipment. 2. Package your shipment. 3. Calculate the weight and dimensions of your shipment. 4. Visit the Opus9 website at www.opus9.com. a. Pick your origin, destination, mode of transport and hit search. b. Receive instant and competitive free quotes in seconds. c. Choose the shipping option most suitable for you. d. Book your shipment. With Opus9 you can be confident your freight will be handled by qualified carriers. 5. When you book with Opus9, your paperwork will be handled electronically - such as your Bill of Lading. 6. Track your shipment in real-time. Know where your truck is at any time and receive proactive alerts en-route. 7. When your freight is delivered, receive an electronic Proof of Delivery - it's easy with Opus9’s online platform! CREATE AN INVENTORY Before you prepare your freight for shipping, you need to create an inventory. An inventory is a complete list of goods you will be shipping to your customer. Each item will be listed on the Bill of Lading - a contract between the freight carrier and the shipper automatically generated when you book a shipment with Opus9. We recommend that you assign a value to your goods and document the value in your inventory. It’s always a good idea to know what it would cost to replace the items in your inventory. Often this value will be assigned by your insurance. PACKAGING YOUR SHIPMENT Many first-time shippers are daunted by the process of properly packaging freight for shipment, but once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty simple, especially if you remember The carrier’s job is to move your freight, not to pack it. Pack from the inside out! A box is only as good as the packing inside of it. Pack your boxes and pallets for strength. Use quality packing materials and take your time! FREIGHT PACKING MADE EASY IN SEVEN STEPS Products should be packed in a box, carton, crate, or other protective container. Shipments containing multiple boxes should be palletized, so shipment can be loaded onto a truck with a pallet jack. Determine whether your items are fragile or non-fragile. Fragile items are anything breakable: Glass Computer or computer parts Electronics Furniture Household goods Artwork Non-fragile items are unbreakable such as: Clothing and footwear Paper or plastic Machinery parts Canned goods Non-fragile Tools and hardware Carpeting Pack non-fragile and fragile items inside sturdy new boxes or containers. Make sure the boxes are full and airtight. Air in the box means your product could be damaged inside. Individually wrap fragile items with bubble wrap and leave room in box for extra cushioning. For extra caution, you may want to bubble wrap first box and place it inside second larger box (typically 5 inches wider and deeper than first box). Fill the remaining space with cushioning material. Clearly label boxes. Each box must have a label with shipper’s and consignee’s address as well as phone numbers, bill of lading numbers, and date shipped. Labels should be printed for readability and attached to the top surface of each box in the shipment. Tape boxes closed with durable plastic tape or reinforced tape that is at least three inches in width. Place tape across flaps and seams Align properly of the top and bottom seams of the box. Stack boxes together carefully and evenly on preferred pallet (for more information, check out Everything You Need to Know about Pallets and More in the Appendix below). Heavier boxes Stagger or align boxes, corner to corner with no overhang. Place heavier boxes at the bottom. Weight on pallet (and within boxes) should be distributed evenly. Use cardboard Top surface should be even and flat to minimize damage. corner beads Use cardboard corner beads around the pallet. Helpful tip: Use flat cardboard every couple of rows to solidify loose boxes. Secure boxes to pallet using shrink-wrap. The goal is for your pallet to be a solid unit. It should move as one solid piece. Use nylon strap Use quality shrink-wrap (70 gauge) and don’t be stingy! Begin by wrapping shrink-wrap around base four or five times, allowing the edge to go underneath each corner.

  • LTL Shipping Guide What Is LTL Shipping?
    Roadrunner Freight’s LTL Shipping Guide What is LTL Shipping? Less-than-Truckload (LTL) shipping is the action of moving freight that does not require a full trailer and moving it from Point A to Point B. When shipping LTL freight, shipments will share the cost and amount of space occupied on a trailer with other freight. LTL shipping is a cost effective alternative to Truckload shipments and provides many benefits to shippers, such as flexibility and competitive prices. Companies of all sizes take advantage of the cost savings, benefits and expertise that LTL companies provide, and is particularly beneficial to eCommerce, retail and manufacturing companies. Roadrunner Freight | rrts.com/freight Less-than-Truckload vs. Truckload Shipping There are many different options a shipper can take to move freight. When deciding between using a Truckload (TL) carrier or a Less-than-Truckload (LTL) carrier, the number of pallets being shipped, the weight, space occupied and time constraints should be taken into consideration. Less-than-Truckload shipping is often less expensive and more economical than Truckload shipping. If there are strict deadlines, this information must be shared with the carrier to ensure that all parties are meeting expectations. Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) Shipment The trailer is filled up with shipments from different companies who pay for space based on the freight’s density and dimensional weight. shipper one shipper two shipper three shipper four ROADRUNNERR FREIGHT Truckload (TL) Shipment The entire trailer is filled with goods from the same shipper. one shipper Roadrunner Freight | rrts.com/freight LTL Industry Overview Less-than-Truckload shipping began when businesses recognized that they frequently needed to ship smaller amounts of goods in a cost efficient and economical way.

  • Category 4: Upstream Transportation and Distribution
    4 Category 4: Upstream Transportation and Distribution Category description Category 4 includes emissions from: • Transportation and distribution of products purchased in the reporting year, between a company’s tier 1 suppliers3 and its own operations in vehicles not owned or operated by the reporting company (including multi-modal shipping where multiple carriers are involved in the delivery of a product, but excluding fuel and energy products) • Third-party transportation and distribution services purchased by the reporting company in the reporting year (either directly or through an intermediary), including inbound logistics, outbound logistics (e.g., of sold products), and third-party transportation and distribution between a company’s own facilities. Emissions may arise from the following transportation and distribution activities throughout the value chain: • Air transport • Rail transport • Road transport • Marine transport • Storage of purchased products in warehouses, distribution centers, and retail facilities. Outbound logistics services purchased by the reporting company are categorized as upstream because they are a purchased service. Emissions from transportation and distribution of purchased products upstream of the reporting company’s tier 1 suppliers (e.g., transportation between a company’s tier 2 and tier 1 suppliers) are accounted for in scope 3, category 1 (Purchased goods and services). Table 4.1 shows the scope and category of emissions where each type of transportation and distribution activity should be accounted for. 3 Tier 1 suppliers are companies with which the reporting company has a purchase order for goods or services (e.g., materials, parts, components, etc.). Tier 2 suppliers are companies with which tier 1 suppliers have a purchase order for goods and services (see figure 7.3 in the Scope 3 Standard).
