Lower your freight rates: Simple ways to save on LTL shipping

When you ship with C.H. Robinson, you get access to rate options backed by our extensive network and buying power. And there are more strategies you can use to reduce costs even further.

Shipping to or from a business instead of a home can also help lower costs. Consolidating packaging helps. Shipping five boxes is often more expensive than placing them together on a standard pallet.

Be sure to include accurate dimensions, like weight and class—and don’t forget packaging in your measurements. And reducing extra services can help, too. For example, renting a forklift may cost less than renting special loading equipment from the carrier.

Small adjustments like these can make a big difference in your total shipping costs. With C.H. Robinson, it’s shipping—simplified. Connect with an LTL expert today.
