What is Ground Freight?

Ground freight refers to the transportation of goods by road or rail using trucks, trailers, and intermodal solutions. It is a cost-effective and efficient method for shipping cargo across North America. Whether you need to move full truckloads or smaller shipments, ground freight offers flexible and reliable solutions for businesses of all sizes.

Ground transportation plays a crucial role in supply chain logistics, ensuring goods reach their destinations quickly and safely. It is ideal for industries that require frequent deliveries, including retail, manufacturing, construction, and e-commerce. With a vast network of carriers and advanced tracking technology, ground freight ensures on-time delivery while optimizing shipping costs.

Our Ground Freight Services

At RAM International Shipping, we offer a wide range of ground freight services tailored to meet your shipping needs. Our services include:

Full Truckload (FTL)

FTL shipping is ideal for businesses that require an entire truck dedicated to their shipment. This service ensures faster transit times, minimal handling, and greater security for your cargo. FTL is perfect for large shipments, high-value goods, and time-sensitive deliveries.

Less-than-Truckload (LTL)

LTL shipping is a cost-effective solution for smaller shipments that do not require a full truck. By consolidating multiple shipments into one truck, we help businesses save on transportation costs while maintaining timely deliveries. Our LTL services provide flexible scheduling, real-time tracking, and damage protection.

LTL & FTL Cross-Border

Cross-border ground freight between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico requires expertise in customs clearance and regulatory compliance. We handle all necessary documentation and ensure seamless transportation across borders, whether you need LTL or FTL shipping.

Intermodal Transportation

Intermodal transportation combines trucking with rail to optimize shipping efficiency. This service is ideal for long-distance freight, reducing costs and carbon emissions while maintaining reliability. We coordinate seamless transfers between transportation modes for a smooth shipping experience.
