Specialized LTL Moves Your Merchandise with Care
Our specialized less-than-truckload (LTL) services deliver big and bulky products, from furniture to appliances and fitness equipment, anywhere – whether it’s to a warehouse, showroom floor or a customer’s home. We take extra measures to achieve secure delivery, like using teams trained in white glove service to provide you that peace of mind with your freight.

Warehousing Capabilities
When we acquired Zenith Global Logistics®, we gained additional warehouse locations that helped expand our LTL capabilities. These warehouses are located near key markets to create accessibility and help to build a consistent delivery cycle.
These warehouses also come with inventory management systems that give a direct view of regional inventory, so from the time products enter the warehouse to the time products make it to their final destination, the customer knows the status. This makes it easier to scale for customer needs or changing market conditions.
Ship Easier and Save
When shipping bulky freight that requires specialized handling and loading, Specialized LTL might be a better option for your supply chain. Because of our special handling, our damage rates are less than one percent.
Larger merchandise that currently ships on custom pallets accrue accessorials for the ‘air’ above a pallet. In specialized LTL, there are no accessorials for over-length or ‘air’ above the pallet – creating cost-savings.
Specialized LTL also uses electronic logs for quality control and freight track-and-trace abilities to provide visibility during transit and delivery. Our advanced reporting capabilities and email alerts help you stay in the know during each mile of the shipment journey.
Simplify Your Supply Chain
We consider each customer’s unique needs and offer a personalized solution – no matter where you are operating from within the United States. Specialized LTL can also provide Complete Home Delivery, which provides a single point of contact that helps manage your supply chain from beginning to end.
No matter what your supply chain looks like our scalable solutions can help you withstand market changes. We can convert shipments, when needed, to our highway-to-rail-to-highway intermodal service. This can be a safer, more sustainable, cost-effective option for customers who need an additional level of flexibility.
