When your business involves transporting supplies, products, and goods to different places, you need to team up with an efficient and reliable logistics service provider in California. For smaller loads, the best shipping option is LTL or less-than-truckload.

How can you get savings for the entire trucking service cost with this option? Consider these tips:

• Weigh loads properly.Always make sure that you are giving the provider with accurate and precise weights. Do not round them off. Most providers reweigh loads. If they find out that you did not declare the right measurements, they will charge you for the excess weight as well as the reweighing fee.
• Be precise with the dimensions.When your small loads exceed the dimensions of a standard container or pallet, expect additional charges. See to it that the packages are within the parameters set for the freight services in Maywood, California you are engaging in.
• Maximize pallet space.Do not leave any unused space in your pallet. Get savings by maximizing the container space.
• Consolidate several orders.Are your shipments going to the same destination? As much as possible, consolidate several small loads into a bigger less-than-truckload shipment. Shipping several orders into one load is cheaper.
