Why do trucking companies financially discourage their drivers from lumping freight.? Ive been doing this job on and off since the early 90's, and it always bothered me that companies will pay drivers so much less than they will pay lumpers. I have my theories to explain this, but I have no way to prove or disprove them. I am looking for someone who has inside information, who may have worked within the infrastructure of a company and who has dealt with such decisions and the reasons for them. Please support your assertion as best you can. Thanx.

Moving using a freight company? We are planning a move from Tennessee to California. We arent moving any furnishings; just boxes (clothes, toys, etc). My mother suggested using a freight company, but I can't seem to find companies online that work with individuals...just businesses. We aren't in an area that is serviced by PODS or anything similar. Already checked. Can anyone recommend or direct me to a company that does freight for private parties, that may have a rate chart or quote field online?

I want the pallet delivered to my home but I do not have any equipment to remove the pallet from the truck. Is this an abnormal issue for freight companies?

Does anyone know of any reputable 'freight & shipping' companies out there? My wife and I are moving from Missouri to Oregon. We are newlywed so our belongings are not many (a 1 bedroom apt. ) so we do not want a whole UHAUL/Penske truck for that distance. We are trying to find some freight & shipping companies that might take our furniture and some boxes/containers, so that we really just need to drive there and save on gas too. The best bet we have so far is 'Freight & Shipping, Inc.'they offered us a total of $770 but there BBB rating is 'unsatisfactory'... so we are not so sure about them. But if anyone has any better ideas, please let me know, thanks.
How does customs brokerage work when shipping freight from the US to Canada? If I were to ship LTL freight from the US to Canada, what paperwork is involved and who handles it? If I understand right, the freight company is in possession of two pieces of paperwork - the BOL and commercial invoice (or Canadian Customs Invoice). But a customs broker is required in Canada, because the freight company can't work with Canadian customs directly? Does the customs broker just fill out a form, or do they inspect the shipment? How is that whole process handled for all involved parties, including the shipper, receiver, freight company, and customs broker?
What is the cheapest way to send domestic Australia-wide freight? I need to send a 25kg package from Sydney to Melbourne by courier. Who is the cheapest transport company to use?

I have been quoted by one freight company $150 which is crazy and Australia Post wants to charge $100 for $20 kg! Any ideas???
Commerical furniture delivery - How do you send coffee tables by freight? I am in the process of setting up a small furniture making business and I need to know how do you go about sending coffee tables etc that are not flat- packed. I would imagine that you would bubble-wrap the items and then get a freight company like Fedex to pick them up. Is it that easy? Should I consider putting these type of items in crates. The coffee tables I have made would be sent out lndividually to customers. They are not overly expensive and really not that large. But would Fedex etc accept this type of furniture without being crated. If it is OK to send just by bubble-wrapping, what is the best way to do this to ensure the items does not get damaged? I would also be sending out the coffee tables etc to international customers.
