1. Door-to-door service
Door-to-door service is a type of transportation service in which the carrier picks up the goods from the shipper's door and delivers them to the consignee's door. This type of service is often used for small shipments or for shipments that require special handling.

2. Less-than-truckload (LTL) and full-truckload (FTL) shipping
Less-than-truckload (LTL) and full-truckload (FTL) shipping are two common types of freight shipping services. LTL shipping is used for smaller shipments that do not require a full truckload, while FTL shipping is used for larger shipments that require a full truckload.
- Cost
LTL shipping is typically less expensive than FTL shipping, as the cost is shared among multiple shippers. FTL shipping is more expensive, but it is also more efficient and reliable.
- Transit time
LTL shipping typically has a longer transit time than FTL shipping, as the truck must make multiple stops to pick up and deliver goods. FTL shipping is more efficient and reliable, and it typically has a shorter transit time.
- Flexibility
LTL shipping is more flexible than FTL shipping, as it allows shippers to ship smaller quantities of goods. FTL shipping is less flexible, as it requires a full truckload of goods.
- Reliability
FTL shipping is more reliable than LTL shipping, as it is not subject to delays caused by other shippers. LTL shipping is less reliable, as it is subject to delays caused by other shippers.
Universal Intermodal Services Inc. offers both LTL and FTL shipping services. We can help you choose the right shipping option for your needs, and we will work to ensure that your shipment arrives on time and in good condition.
