Shipping from Texas
Texas freight rates Texas freight shipping is very active due to port shipping, agriculture, oil and heavy industry throughout the state. Heavy machinery moving on flatbed trucks is common throughout intra-Texas. LTL freight rates are affordable in and out of Texas due to high volume. Seasonality is not usually a factor on Texas freight rates except during the peak agricultural months. The ease and cost of shipping into or out of Texas can be heavily based on proximity to major metro areas.
Shipping to Alabama
Alabama freight rates Outbound Alabama truckload rates in the summer are increased due to the high demand of trucks to ship agricultural products. Alabama's freight industry revolves around agriculture including poultry, cattle, plants, corn and industrial products such as steel and iron. Inbound Alabama truckload freight rates during the very hot summer are generally cheaper than any other time. Due to the nature of LTL freight pricing, seasonality doesn’t usually affect Alabama freight cost. LTL freight rates in Alabama are generally average to high when compared to other states, mostly due to lower volume and consumption. There is one major port in Alabama, useful for shipping freight internationally, the Port of Mobile. The ease and cost of shipping into or out of Alabama can be heavily based on proximity to major metro areas.
