Why partner with a freight desk?
Bring us the shipment. We’ll bring the pieces together.
Finding a truck is only part of the job. We help make sense of the options, find and vet the right providers, coordinate the handoffs, manage the paperwork and stay with the shipment through delivery.
Technology where speed matters. People where trust matters.
Explore our shipping servicesBetter checks before pickup.
Carrier identity, authority, insurance and real-world truck activity checks help us spot mismatches before freight moves. Our team also reviews operating history and fit for your actual shipment.
Visibility without the chasing.
We follow the shipment and keep you informed. Sensitive or high-stakes moves can add device-based live location and condition alerts that do not depend only on the driver’s phone.
Protection that fits the shipment.
Tell us the cargo value before booking. When standard carrier limits are not enough, optional per-load all-risk or excess cargo coverage may be quoted, subject to eligibility, terms, deductibles and exclusions.
Ways to take flight.
Everyday shipping.
And the less everyday.
Regular orders. Extra volume. A new customer or sales channel. Bring us the work you do every day and the moves that take a little more figuring out.
The shipments that keep you moving.
Regular customer orders, retailer deliveries and stock moving between warehouses. Get help with the daily work of shipping, or extra support for the moves that need it.
A big order. A new sales channel.
Launching on Amazon, keeping up with TikTok demand or landing a new retail account? We help work through the shipping and delivery requirements around the opportunity.
Somewhere to store it. A way to send it out.
Need storage, packing or a fulfillment partner? Tell us how your products need to reach your customers. We will help work out the support and partners that fit.
It's big. Really big.
Machinery, equipment or something that needs more than a regular truck. We help work through the right equipment, loading and delivery plan.
There's a lot riding on this one.
Valuable goods, extra handling or concerns about theft and damage. Let us help work through the requirements, handoffs and precautions your shipment needs.
Across the country. Across the globe.
A customer in another state. A supplier overseas. We help make sense of the route, the right partners and the next steps.
Already have a shipping team? We can help with the new route, the overflow or the shipment that needs extra attention.
Example shipping situations
This is what we mean by handled.
A store opening.
A lot beyond the truck.
Fixtures need to get inside before the store opens. We help work through truck fit, loading order, the receiving window, the crew and removal of packaging, with the full delivery scope agreed in advance.
New equipment.
Right where it is needed.
A dock delivery is not enough. We help coordinate an appointment, inside placement and unpacking. Need old equipment removed too? We check provider acceptance and confirm any added cost before proceeding.
loadkite field notes
Shipping, made clearer.
Practical freight guidance from your full-service freight desk. Start with the questions that help you plan a better shipment.
Explore tools and checklistsWhat do you need for a useful quote?
Start with what you’re shipping, the pickup and delivery locations, when it will be ready and when it needs to arrive. Include the number of pieces or pallets, packaged dimensions and total weight.
Tell us about anything that changes the move: temperature needs, fragile or valuable goods, limited access, a loading dock, a liftgate or a delivery appointment. Don’t have all the details? Send what you know.
What can change the final freight bill?
Extra services can change the cost: a liftgate, an appointment, a residential or limited-access location, storage or time spent waiting. Differences in the shipment’s actual weight, dimensions or freight class can also affect the bill.
We help check these details before booking and explain what the quote includes. If the shipment or service changes, additional charges may still apply. Have a question about a charge? Bring it to our team.
Can we start while the goods are still with our supplier?
Yes. That’s a useful time to start planning. Bring the supplier’s location, the expected ready date and whatever product and packaging details you have.
For an international move, we help identify the forwarding and customs specialists, transport steps and receiving arrangements the shipment needs. We confirm the responsible providers, scope and requirements before booking.
A little help before you ship.
Get the details right.
Two simple tools to help you prepare. No sign-up needed.
01 / Measure it
Freight density calculator
Use the outside dimensions and weight of one fully packed pallet or handling unit. Include the pallet, packaging and anything that sticks out.
Enter your measurements to get cubic feet and pounds per cubic foot.
Different-sized pallets? Calculate each one separately. Density alone does not confirm freight class. The commodity’s NMFC item, handling, stowability and liability can affect classification.
Ask us to help check your shipment02 / Plan for it

These details can affect the service and price. Select anything that applies at either end of your shipment.

Talk through my shipmentThis is a planning checklist, not a quote or a complete list of charges. Carrier definitions, equipment limits and service availability vary. Selections stay in your browser; the link opens an email draft for you to review and send.
Specialized support
When delivery takes more than a truck.
Trade shows and white-glove deliveries bring tight deadlines, site rules, local crews and specific proof requirements. We help plan the handoffs, find partners that fit the job and stay with the details through delivery or move-out.
