About LTL Freight Match

Why this site exists

Requesting LTL freight is an unusually unforgiving process for anyone who does not do it every week. The vocabulary is specialised, the pricing is assembled from parts nobody explains, and the penalty for describing a shipment loosely arrives weeks later on an invoice.

The pages on this site exist to close that gap. They explain what a class is, why a pallet gets reweighed, what a liftgate does and does not do, and what a guarantee actually guarantees, in the order somebody needs to know it, before they ask for a price.

The form exists so that once the shipment is understood, starting takes four fields rather than four emails. Everything that actually decides the rate gets measured on the call.

What we are

A licensed freight broker. We hold brokerage authority from the federal regulator and a surety bond, we quote and book shipments as a principal in the transaction, and we tender the freight to carriers we have rates with. Our authority number is in the footer and it can be verified in the public register.

We own no trucks. The carrier that moves your freight is a separate company with its own tariff, and physical execution and cargo liability rest with it. What rests with us is the classification, the booking, the accessorials declared, and pursuing a claim when one is needed. Anyone who blurs that line is describing a business that does not exist.

How the content is written

Four rules, applied to every page.

1. No published rates. Class, density, lane, accessorials and fuel move weekly, and a figure printed here would be stale within a month and wrong for most readers today.
2. No invented facts. No made-up statistics, no fabricated testimonials, no counters, no fake urgency and no claimed partnerships.
3. Anything regulatory is flagged. Where a page touches classification rules, carrier liability or licensing, it is marked for verification rather than presented as settled.
4. Usefulness before conversion. Several pages here explain how to spend less with us: terminal pickup instead of a liftgate, consolidating, shipping dock to dock, or booking direct with a carrier when that is the better answer. That is deliberate.

How this is paid for

Providers pay to receive qualified shipment requests. Shippers pay nothing, and the rate you are quoted comes from the provider.

Saying that plainly is the point. A site funded this way has an incentive to push everyone toward a form, and the only honest countermeasure is to write pages that are worth reading on their own.
