Unishippers outlined everything you need to consider in our handy tip sheet, How to Choose the Right Freight Carrier. Download this helpful guide and learn about important deciding factors, including:

• Pricing. Cost is obviously one of the most common concerns when choosing a freight carrier. Don’t forget to review each carrier’s accessorial fee policies, in addition to comparing quotes!
• Coverage area. Depending on your needs, make sure to pay attention to how far each carrier will travel. It’s worth noting that many small carriers operate regionally, not nationally.
• Transit time. Pay attention to transit speeds to make sure you pick a carrier who works with your needs. Just remember that faster delivery means higher rates!
• Range of services. Be sure to check if each carrier offers additional services you require, such as hazmat shipping or sealed divider service.
• Communication & reliability. An affordable carrier means nothing if your shipments are always delayed! Keep your eye out for reliable carriers that will keep you updated on your shipment’s status in transit.
