FTL Shipping Questions

Full Truckload FAQs

What is the maximum weight and pallet capacity of a 53ft dry van?

A standard 53ft dry van can haul up to 45,000 lbs and accommodates 26 standard 48x40 pallets single-stacked, or up to 52 pallets if safely double-stacked.

How do you vet FTL carriers and prevent unauthorized re-brokering?

Before assigning any truckload, we verify active FMCSA operating authority, $1M Auto Liability and $100K Cargo insurance certificates, CSA safety scores, and carrier/driver identity—with strict controls against double-brokering.

What happens if an assigned FTL carrier cancels or breaks down?

When we accept your tender, we own the execution. If a carrier falls off before pickup or experiences a mechanical issue in transit, our 24/7 operations team sources replacement or repower capacity and keeps you updated with a realistic ETA.

Can you support both spot overflow loads and contracted routing guide lanes?

Yes. Logistics managers frequently test us on urgent spot loads or tough lanes first, then add us to their routing guide for recurring contract lanes, seasonal surges, and drop-trailer programs.
