Freight Shipping Services
Freight Shipping Services Designed to Save You Time and Money
Every shipment comes with its own deadline, its own cargo, and its own risk if something goes wrong. At C&D Logistics, we build freight shipping solutions around your timeline, your budget, and what you are actually moving, whether that is a single pallet heading across town or a multi-leg international shipment crossing an ocean. We coordinate LTL and FTL trucking, air freight, ocean freight, intermodal and rail, and specialized moves through a vetted network of carriers, so you get the right equipment and the right route without having to manage a dozen vendor relationships yourself.
We know the freight industry has more moving parts than most businesses want to think about: freight classes, HAZMAT placarding, bill-of-lading types, cross-border paperwork. That is exactly why we exist. Tell us what you are shipping and where it needs to go, and our team handles the classification, the carrier selection, and the documentation so your shipment moves without a hitch.
What Freight Shipping Services Do We Offer?
We offer eight core freight shipping services, built to cover everything from a single LTL pallet to a fully engineered project move:
Freight Shipping Services Backed by an Expert Team
We built our team around the parts of freight shipping that trip businesses up most: matching cargo to the right equipment, knowing which documentation a given lane actually requires, and catching a routing problem before it becomes a delayed delivery. If you are not sure whether your shipment needs LTL or FTL, intermodal rail or a straight truckload, we walk through the options with you and recommend what actually fits your budget and your delivery window, rather than defaulting to whatever is easiest for us to book.
Whether you need a single container moved on intermodal rail or a recurring lane running FTL every week, we are set up to handle it. Get in touch with our team to talk through your shipping needs and see how our network of carriers fits your freight.
Saving Your Business Time and Money on Freight Shipping
Logistics eats time and money in equal measure when it is handled piecemeal. Working with us means you get one team sourcing competitive carrier rates, one team monitoring your shipment at every stage, and one team keeping your supply chain moving instead of five different phone numbers to call when something changes. That consolidation is where most of the savings actually come from: fewer handoffs, fewer chances for a shipment to sit waiting on a decision, and one place to go when you need an answer.
From businesses shipping their first LTL pallet to operations running FTL and intermodal freight every week, we scale our service to match your volume rather than making you fit a one-size model. As your shipping needs grow, the same team and the same process carry through, so you are not re-explaining your business to a new contact every time your freight volume changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
If your freight is under about 10 pallets and your timeline has some flexibility, LTL usually costs less because you are only paying for the trailer space you use. If you are shipping a full load, need a faster transit time, or are moving cargo that cannot tolerate multiple handling touchpoints, FTL is the better fit. Tell us your load size and deadline and we will recommend the right option.
At minimum, expect a commercial invoice, a bill of lading, and a certificate of origin to support duty treatment under trade agreements. Depending on what you are shipping, you may also need a customs clearance form or a safety certificate for regulated goods. We prepare this paperwork as part of every cross-border shipment we book, so nothing is missing when your freight reaches the border.
Yes. HAZMAT freight needs the correct classification, placarding, and documentation before it ever leaves the dock, and we handle all of it as part of the booking process, not as an afterthought.
Yes, we book temperature-controlled trucks for freight that needs a consistent range maintained from pickup to delivery, rather than routing it on standard equipment and hoping it holds up.
Intermodal shipping moves your freight in a sealed container that transfers between rail and truck without the cargo itself being handled at each transfer point. It tends to fit long-haul lanes well, since rail covers the distance efficiently and a truck handles the shorter first and last legs. If your shipment has some flexibility on transit time, it is worth asking us whether intermodal is a fit for your lane.
Yes, we provide warehousing and distribution for freight that needs to sit for a period before it moves again, whether that is a few days or an ongoing arrangement.
Our 30-30 service standard means you get a quote back within 30 minutes of reaching out, with paperwork and processing following within another 30 minutes after that.
