Specialized freight breaks standard quoting logic

Some shipments don't fit neatly into standard LTL or FTL. They may need special handling, scheduling discipline, specific equipment, or tighter operational coordination. These moves require expertise, not just a rate quote.

What counts as specialized freight

Heavy machinery, hazmat, temperature-controlled goods, fragile items, unconventional shapes, high-value freight, or anything requiring special equipment or handling. If a standard quote doesn't feel right, specialized freight may be the better path.
