Shipping from Massachusetts
Massachusetts freight rates Massachusetts truckload rates tend to be higher going into the state than leaving it. The state is high consumption, so numerous goods need to be transported into the state - this decreases outbound freight rates due to a high availability of outbound trucks. Massachusetts has three major ports, the Boston location is one of the biggest in the U.S. Access to these ports and a major rail line make intermodal freight rates a great option. LTL freight is high in volume in the area so great LTL freight prices can be found easily. The ease and cost of shipping into or out of Massachusetts can be heavily based on proximity to major metro areas.
Shipping to Montana
Montana freight rates Montana, one of the largest states in the U.S., can be a little more expensive to ship freight into due to a high percentage of rural area and lack of manufacturing. The agriculture industry, like potatoes and cattle, keep the intra freight rates reasonable and predictable. Intermodal may not be the best option when shipping to or from Montana since there are numerous areas far from a close railway. The ease and cost of shipping into or out of Montana can be heavily based on proximity to major metro areas.
