FREIGHT CONSIDERATIONS
General Items to Consider
- Freight can be delivered by a LTL carrier (less than truckload) or a truckload carrier (semi); depending upon the size of the freight, quantity of items, and cost effectiveness. The Great Lakes freight managers will determine which type of carrier will be used
- Freight quotes for LTL carriers are valid for 14 days; if an order is not placed within 14 days, the quote may have changed. Please call and check.
- Freight quotes for semi carriers will specify how many days before the quote expires
- The following cities are subject to a security surcharge, resulting in increased freight costs:
– Washington DC and the surrounding area (parts of VA and MD)
– New York City
– Boston, MA
– Chicago, IL - Delivery to schools and military and government facilities normally require a lengthy sign-in or search process (i.e. security sweep of freight or driver must be escorted onsite) which result in increased freight costs
Shipping restrictions apply to freight that is 91″H or greater. Please keep in mind the following:
- 84”H enclosures that are bolted to a pallet are 89”H; when the enclosure is bolted to the pallet with casters or levelers installed, the enclosure is now 91”H
- 91”H enclosures that are bolted to a pallet are 96”H; when the enclosure is bolted to the pallet with casters or levelers installed, the enclosure is now 100”H
- 91”H freight cannot be liftgated and does not fit on 20% of LTL trucks; freight is likely to be delivered on a full size semi
- Enclosures can be laid on their side if necessary for delivery, but will require extra packing material; an additional handling charge may apply
