Why Trust Gilyards Logistics?

Significant Cost Savings

Share the cost of a truck with other verified shippers. Our LTL solutions are perfect for 1-6 pallet shipments where FTL pricing isn't viable.

Increased Flexibility

Don't let your inventory sit. Ship freight as it's ready rather than waiting to fill a full truck, keeping your supply chain moving.

Accessorial Services

Unlike standard FTL, our LTL network handles the details: liftgate services, residential deliveries, and inside delivery capabilities.

Expert Rate Management

Navigating NMFC codes and freight classes is complex. Our team ensures your billing is accurate from the start to prevent re-bills.

Track Your LTL with Precision

Even though your freight shares a truck, it doesn't get lost in the crowd. Our advanced Transportation Management System (TMS) provides a single point of tracking from pickup to delivery, giving you door-to-door visibility.

LTL Expert Guidance

Freight class is a standardized pricing classification for LTL shipments, based on density, stowability, handling, and liability. We help you determine the correct class to ensure you receive the most competitive and accurate shipping rates.

Yes. For shipments that exceed standard LTL dimensions (usually 6-12 pallets or more than 5,000 lbs) but don't require the dedicated usage of a full 53' trailer, we offer highly competitive volume LTL rates.

To maintain safety and efficiency, freight must be securely palletized or crated. It should be shrink-wrapped, clearly labeled on all sides, and measured accurately for dimensions and weight to avoid carrier adjustments.
