Expedited freight companies offer shippers with
rate information depending on the
requirements of the merchandise being transported. Certain factors such
as the
urgency and any special requirements will affect the cost of the
shipment. Other
factors that may affect the rate are the classification, and description
of the
merchandise.
Shippers who ship domestic or international expedited freight and have
LTL may be
offered general rates for FAK, or freight of all kinds. This refers to
full container loads of mixed shipments. Many expedite freight companies
will combine shipments
in order to offer reduced rates. Due to the raising fuel prices, other
companies are adding fuel surcharges to expedited freight charges as a
way to offset the increasing
price of fuel.
Other charges that may be added are detention charges, which are occur
when a vehicle is detained because of a fault of the shipper. This could
be improper shipping
instructions, or packaging, and or documentation. However, freight
companies do
offer detention free time, or warnings before imposing these charges.
Shippers need to expedite their shipments as quickly as possible at the
same time,
keeping costs as low as reasonably possible. Expedited shipping
companies provide
quick transit times at the lowest possible rates, by routing shipments
over land or by airfreight when needed. They understand the importance
of choosing the best possible mode of transport, which will provide the
service that meets the needs of the shipper.
