Please reach us at Support@queenbeelogistics.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What's the minimum weight for LTL shipping?

Our LTL services typically start at 150 pounds, but this can vary based on specific carrier requirements.

How long does LTL shipping take?

Transit times for LTL shipments generally range from 1-5 business days, depending on the distance and specific service selected. Longer distances and rural destinations may require additional time.

How are LTL shipping rates calculated?

LTL rates are typically based on several factors, including:

Freight class
Weight
Dimensions
Distance traveled
Accessorial services required
Fuel surcharges

What is a Bill of Lading (BOL) and why is it important?

A Bill of Lading is a crucial document that serves as a receipt, contract, and document of title for LTL shipments. It contains essential information about the shipment, including origin, destination, contents, and special instruction

What is freight density and why does it matter?

Freight density is the weight of your shipment divided by its volume (in cubic feet). It's important because it affects the freight class and, consequently, the shipping rate. Higher density items generally have lower freight classes and lower rates.

What are accessorial charges in LTL shipping?

Accessorial charges are additional fees for services beyond standard pickup and delivery. Common accessorials include liftgate service, inside delivery, residential delivery, and limited access locations.

Can I track my LTL shipment?

Yes with Queen Bee Logistics we have online tracking every step of the way.

How far in advance should I book my LTL shipment?

LTL shipments typically can be booked within minutes, the carriers need a two hour window for pickups and pickups are not guaranteed. However, It's best to book your LTL shipment at least 24-48 hours in advance. This allows time for proper planning and ensures equipment availability. For time-sensitive or high-volume shipments, booking further in advance is recommended.

What is the difference between LTL and parcel shipping?

LTL is typically used for larger, heavier shipments (usually over 150 pounds) that don't require a full truck. Parcel shipping is for smaller, lighter packages (usually under 150 pounds) that can be handled by a single person.

How can I ensure my LTL shipment is properly packaged?

Proper packaging for LTL shipments includes:

Using sturdy boxes or crates
Palletizing items when possible
Ensuring items are securely fastened to pallets
