Industry updates
News and notes from Cargo Express Freight. For current rates and capacity, call the traffic desk — we quote Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM–5:00 PM.
How to get a same-day freight quote
Have origin, destination, weight, dimensions, and pickup date ready when you call Traffic. We quote FTL, LTL, intermodal, expedited, air, and ocean. Written confirmation of rate, accessorials, and transit time comes before pickup.
FTL vs. LTL: choosing the right mode
Full truckload is the fit when you need the trailer to yourself — large volume, tight transit, or freight that should not mix. Less-than-truckload works for smaller shipments when cost matters more than exclusive equipment. Our team can also split a program across both modes.
Retail inbound: Amazon, Walmart, and Costco lanes
Vendors shipping into major retail networks need appointment windows, routing guides, and clean paperwork at the dock. We book and track those moves so your freight meets the receiving requirements you specify.
Track a shipment
LTL customers can log into the TMS. If a load is already in transit and you need a status, call Traffic for the last check-call.
