[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 616566, member: 483"] It is generally simpler than freight. But their pricing is all over the board. If you're staying in the SE it is hard to beat them. But once you get off of their main SE lines they go up really fast in price. I use freightquote.com and freightcenter.com to get quotes on all LTL shipments. I've found that about a third of time freightquote.com has the best rate, another third freightcenter.com does, and another third Fastenal does. So if you're really trying to save money you still have to shop around. Overall price depends more on which carriers have the strongest presence / most efficient routes in the areas being shipped to and from than where you shop. You can play freightcenter and freightquote against each other as well. Most of the time after you get an online quote they will call you and ask if you're ready to book the shipment. If you tell them the other one came in cheaper they'll almost always come down $100 - $200. I normally try to give them a day or two to call me before I book. It leaves me time to play them. [/QUOTE]
