Not sure which carrier to choose? Start here

With C.H. Robinson, you get quotes from multiple carriers for your shipment. So, how do you choose the best fit?

Start by sorting available carriers by charge amount, delivery date, —or carrier name. Economy carriers typically offer lower rates in exchange for longer transit times. They make more stops along the route to pick up additional freight and cover costs. Premium carriers cost more because they use more direct routes or expedited service.

Looking for a balance between price and delivery time? A middle-tier carrier can be a great option. If you’re unsure of what strategy to use for your shipment, reach out to your C.H. Robinson rep for support.
