Less-Than-Truckload
Less-than-truckload or LTL shipments are shipments less than 40,000 pounds, the maximum weight a standard trailer can haul. These shipments are lumped with other LTL shipments in order to fill a truck, and save cost. Our truckload customers requested that we bring the Choptank Transport level of service to LTL shipping several years ago. Today, our LTL division is thriving and our high volume of loads makes it much easier for us to find other LTL freight to load. This keeps expenses low for our customers. We meticulously select our LTL carriers to avoid any problems, and our dispatch team employs the highest level of communication. Special training also means that when a problem might arise, we're prepared to handle it.
Warehousing Services
Choptank Transport offers warehousing services to our customers as a supplemental service. Offering three warehouses, and over 100,000 square feet of storage space in Preston, MD, our facilities are ideal for cargo storage. Customers often utilize this option for transloading storage, fulfillment, or just standard indefinite warehousing. As a sign of our commitment, Choptank offers its customers reduced rates on warehousing.
Inter-modal
For flexible customers that wish to cut costs, inter-modal transport refers to freight that is moved using more than one form of transportation such as sea, rail, and air. Choptank Transport offers inter-modal transport as another supplement to our services. Our customers can elect to use this service when their cargo is not under heavy time constraints, and other methods of transport seem inappropriate.
