Shipping from South Carolina
South Carolina freight rates Textiles make South Carolina freight rates a bit trendier than other states. The Mid-Atlantic states in general are a bit harder to find truckload capacity, which can negatively affect truckload freight rates. The lumber industry can make freight shipping outbound South Carolina much more expensive during the fall than any other time. LTL freight rates can be more expensive in the rural areas of South Carolina and slightly above average in the more populated areas due to the factors listed above. The ease and cost of shipping into or out of South Carolina can be heavily based on proximity to major metro areas.
Shipping to 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.
