LTL and FTL shipments

What happens when you have only one to two pallets of goods to transport? What about when the complete opposite happens – when you have two trucks worth of cargo to ship? That’s when you turn to a reputable and affordable freight company in Seattle that offers both LTL and FTL shipments.

  • LTL (less than truckload) is a great alternative when your cargo can take up only a portion of the truck. We combine your shipment with another one, ensuring that you pay only for the portion of the truck your cargo occupies. That way, there are no restraints to the amount of cargo you wish to forward. Plus, you don’t have to overpay for a truck full of cargo when you can’t fill it up.
  • FTL (full truckload) is the perfect solution when you have a sizeable amount of cargo on your hands. It is not uncommon for our clients to have a need for multiple trailer loads. Our FTL shipping options are one of the fundamental reasons why we are one of the best freight companies in Seattle.

From a single pallet to multiple trailer loads, Washington State citizens and businesses can rely on Hansen Bros. Moving & Storage for optimal shipping solutions. We make it our mission to meet your requirements and exceed your expectations. For us, nothing is as vital as 100% customer satisfaction. That is why we provide tailored solutions that won’t clear out your budget needs.

General freight shipments can be costly no matter the volume or distance. And clients are always on the lookout for alternative solutions that are cost-effective and productive.
