Freight Carriers in the Los Angeles Area 909-989-5553

March 15, 2012 - PRLog -- If you need products shipped throughout the California area, you will need a reliable and efficient freight carrier.  With many freight carriers available, how do you know which freight carrier is best?  Below, you will find a few things to consider when choosing your next carrier.  

Freight carriers can distinguish themselves from one another in a variety of ways.  In addition, many of the ways usually go unseen by most companies.  For example, the condition of a freight carrier's fleet can range from old and out-dated equipment, to up-to-date well maintained equipment.  The condition of the equipment can be important to the shipper, because the freight company represents the shipping company as they deliver their products.  

A freight carrier's customer service can also be another valuable asset to a company.  Your customers often need to contact your designated freight carrier to handle common shipping  issues.  Such as, delivery or pick-up appointments, estimated delivery times, directions to their facility, and other information needed to successfully ship your products.  At this point, your carrier is representing your company, and hopefully they are treating them well!    

Another area to consider when evaluating your freight carrier, is how often is your product arriving late and or damaged.  If your customers are constantly filing freight claims, it could eventually cause your customers to look else where to find your products.

Last, I will like to touch on the shipping price freight carriers charge per shipment.  Freight carriers will tend to slide in a variety of extra fees.  Such as, fuel sur charges, lift gate fees, residential delivery fees, C.O.D fees, same day delivery fees, etc.  Although those are all legitimate fees, you have to make sure your freight carrier isn't over charging you.  For instance, if your freight carrier decides to ship your product same day without you requesting it, they might still charge you extra for the same day delivery!  

To summarize it all, freight carriers are a representation of the companies it ships for.  In addition, freight carriers can also increase or decrease your revenue based on the prices they charge you and the service quality they give your customers.
