Full truckload shipping
Total Connection arranges full truckload shipping for chemical and industrial shippers: 53 ft dry van and specialized equipment with the whole trailer dedicated to one shipment, carriers screened for authority, insurance and hazmat where required, tracked from pickup to proof of delivery. US, Canada and Mexico, since 1995.
What full truckload shipping involves
A full truckload moves one shipper's freight from dock to dock without transfers. It suits shipments above roughly 10,000 lb or ten pallets, freight that needs dedicated space for safety or security, and deliveries with a firm appointment.
Total Connection matches the load to a screened carrier, sets the appointments, tracks the truck and returns the proof of delivery with the invoice.
