Our 5 LTL Tips can help you make shipping freight the easiest part of your day:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

As an LTL freight shipper, finding quotes and booking carriers is probably not the highlight of your day. It\u2019s a process that can become frustrating and time-consuming \u2013 but it doesn\u2019t have to be. When you ship LTL freight through uShip, you avoid many of the common headache-inducing obstacles.<\/p>\n

Skip the high broker fees, website hopping, and phone calls while uShip goes to work for you. Check out these five ways you\u2019ll save time by booking through our marketplace:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. TAKE SMART SHORTCUTS FOR FASTER SHIPPING<\/strong>
    \nNo need to manually enter address info for customers you\u2019ve shipped to before. Reduce errors and get your freight on the road faster with the new Address Book from uShip.<\/li>\n
  2. PROTECT YOUR FREIGHT QUICKLY AND RELIABLY<\/strong>
    \nRelying on a carrier\u2019s minimal liability coverage is risky, considering it covers just $.10\/lb on average, so purchasing additional protection is a must. Booking through uShip means you can seamlessly add additional protection at checkout. This top-notch protection means you\u2019ll get fast communications and payout, saving you time in case things don\u2019t go as planned with your shipment.<\/li>\n
  3. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A ONE-STOP SHOP<\/strong>
    \nSkip the old school processes of manually comparing rates from carrier to carrier on the phone or navigating between websites, and take a shortcut to the best rates in minutes. With more than 30 national and regional LTL carriers ready to compete for your business, you can compare rates at a glance. If you\u2019re a high-volume shipper, you can even add in existing contract rates with My Contract Rates, or get uShip\u2019s help negotiating rates with carriers through My Custom Rates. No matter how you book, you\u2019ll get rates that compete with or beat the ones you get elsewhere, all while skirting high fees and saving time.<\/li>\n
  4. WORK WITH A TRUSTED ALLY<\/strong>
    \nOur platform is backed by an expert team ready to help you with issues like dispute mediation, missed pickup assistance, invoice auditing, account credits, and more. Plus, our mobile app connects you to everything uShip at the tap of a finger. It\u2019s all-in-one support from real people, when you need it.<\/li>\n
  5. CUT OUT THE FOLLOW-UP WORK \u00a0<\/strong>
    \nIt\u2019s important to double-check your shipment details after delivery, but it takes a lot to stay on top of multiple invoices. That\u2019s why we do it for you. We audit every single invoice and apply refunds directly to your uShip account in case of overpayment, and help you out in case of a dispute. It\u2019s the peace of mind that\u2019s built into every uShip shipment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
