Why shippers are searching for LTL quotes right now
LTL pricing has been anything but stable. Carrier capacity tightens and loosens by the week, fuel surcharges move, and post-classification reform freight class changes have left a lot of shippers paying more than they should.
In that environment, a single online instant rate is rarely the best price. Shopping your freight across a network of carriers is how you find the right capacity at the right rate — and that’s exactly what we do for every quote.

What affects your LTL freight rate
Four factors drive almost every LTL shipping rate. Understanding them helps you quote smarter and avoid surprise charges.
Freight class & density
Your NMFC freight class is driven largely by density. Heavier, denser freight in the same space usually ships at a lower class and a lower rate.
Distance & lane
Origin and destination ZIPs, plus how well-traveled the lane is, directly affect carrier pricing and transit time.
Dimensions & space
LTL is priced on the linear feet and cubic space your pallets occupy on the trailer, not just weight.
Accessorials
Liftgate, residential, inside delivery, and limited-access stops add fees. Telling us up front keeps your quote accurate.

LTL shipping quote FAQ
How fast can I get an LTL shipping quote?
Most LTL freight quotes come back the same business day, and often within a couple of hours. The more shipment detail you provide up front — weight, dimensions, freight class, and accessorials — the faster and more accurate your quote will be.
Do I need an account to get a quote?
No. You can request an LTL shipping quote without creating an account. Just submit your shipment details and contact info and we’ll send your rates over.
What information do I need to provide for an LTL quote?
At minimum we need your origin and destination ZIP codes, the number of pallets or handling units, total weight, and approximate dimensions. Freight class, commodity, and accessorials like liftgate or residential delivery help us nail the rate.
Why is my LTL rate different from an online instant quote?
Instant rate tools often estimate freight class and miss accessorials, which leads to reclassification fees and surprise charges later. We quote against real carrier capacity so the rate you see reflects how your freight will actually move.
Is the LTL quote really free with no obligation?
Yes. Every quote from Route 89 Logistics is free and carries no obligation. You only book if the rate and service work for you.
