doorstep and curbside delivery

 Curbside pickup and delivery are pretty much what you’d expect. The truck driver picks up and/or drops off a shipment at the roadside or at the driveway's end. This is the basic, standard method when picking up and delivering freight. Drivers typically use a pallet jack or forklift to lift heavy shipments into the back of a trailer or onto the trailer’s liftgate. These features help easily lift heavy items, allowing for quick and easy pickups and deliveries. 

Curbside pickup and delivery mean that it is up to the shipper or receiver to transport the shipment to and from the curbside. This limits damages, bumps, or scuffs to a business’s doorways or walls during the hauling of freight.

 Additional Services to Curbside Pickup and Delivery

Basic curbside pickup and delivery are the standard freight service offered by carriers. In the event a seller or receiver would like to have their shipment moved or removed from inside their place of business, an extra charge will occur. Inside pickup and delivery is just one of many extra services, also known as accessorials, that FreightCenter offers. Depending on your shipment, some accessorials may be necessary, while others are completely subjective. By providing product details, your FreightCenter agent can help you determine which, if any, accessorials you should add to your shipment.
