Part Load Freight - Transport Only is the most basic level of freight service available. The customer is responsible for packaging the items in accordance with freight standards using boxes, pallets or crates. The base level is loading bay service, which requires the customer to load and unload the items into and out of the vehicle. The freight company is solely responsible for transporting the goods through the established hub-and-spoke network system used for freight transport. Optional "extra" services, such as tail-lift loading/unloading, indoor collection, and residential services are available for an additional fee.
Open transport means that your goods will be placed on an open trailer during transport and will be exposed to the elements. This is the most common and cheapest way to ship your item.
