Services
What is final-mile freight delivery?
Final-mile delivery is the last stage of a shipment: from a warehouse, distribution center, or linehaul carrier to the end customer, store, or jobsite. It is the stage the recipient actually sees, which is why we treat it as the most important one.
What is white-glove freight delivery?
White-glove delivery is a higher-touch service built from components such as liftgate, threshold, inside delivery, room-of-choice placement, two-person crews, stair carry, unpacking, assembly, debris removal, call-ahead, delivery photos, and signed POD. We confirm which components apply to each shipment when we quote it.
Do you deliver to residential addresses?
Yes. Residential delivery is a core service and one we actively want more of. Call-ahead, inside delivery, room of choice, and two-person crews are available.
Can you deliver to locations without a loading dock?
Yes. Every box truck carries a liftgate, pallet jack, and hand truck for non-dock deliveries to storefronts, offices, restaurants, jobsites, and homes.
Do you provide liftgate service?
Yes. Liftgate service is available on our box trucks for pickups and deliveries.
Do you provide inside delivery?
Yes. Threshold, inside, and room-of-choice delivery are available. Stair carry and two-person delivery can be added when access requires it.

How should freight be packaged?
Package freight so it can be handled safely and protected in transit: palletize and shrink-wrap where practical, crate fragile or high-value items, and label each piece. Our trucks carry blankets, padding, and straps, and we can advise on packaging when you request a quote.
Quotes
What information do you need for a freight quote?
Origin and destination (city, state, ZIP), whether each end is residential or commercial, dock availability, pickup and requested delivery dates, commodity, piece count, weight, dimensions, packaging, and any special handling such as liftgate, inside delivery, two-person crew, stairs, assembly, or appointment requirements.
