LTL rates from 50+ carriers, booked in a few clicks
Enter the lane and freight once and every carrier on the network prices it at the same time: national and regional LTL carriers, contract, dynamic and volume pricing, cheapest and fastest marked. Book the one you want and print the bill of lading.
Short answer: LTL (less-than-truckload) shipping moves one to about six pallets on a shared trailer, priced by lane, weight, freight class and accessorials. On the GetShippingRates platform you enter the shipment once, compare rates from 50+ national and regional LTL carriers side by side, book online and track the load alongside your reefer, truckload and final-mile freight.
How LTL quoting works
Lane and freight
Origin and destination ZIPs, pallets, weight and dimensions. Saved addresses and products fill it in for repeat shipments.
Rates stream in
Every carrier prices the shipment at once. Sort by price or transit, filter standard or guaranteed, and see the savings between best and worst.
Book and ship
Pick a rate, confirm pickup details and print the BOL and pallet labels. Tracking starts as soon as the carrier picks up.
What makes LTL easier here
Reclass and reweigh warnings
The platform estimates density-based class as you type and flags freight that a carrier is likely to reclassify before you book it.
Carrier size rules
Shipments that break a carrier's linear-foot, cube or piece limits are flagged and sorted last, so you don't book a rate that gets re-rated later.
Volume LTL or truckload
When freight gets big, the LTL results include a 53' van price and volume quotes, so you pick the cheapest way to move it.
Accessorials up front
Liftgate, residential, limited access, appointment and inside delivery are priced in the quote, not after delivery.
Saved quotes and re-rates
Every quote is saved. Re-rate a past shipment in one click or send a quote PDF for approval.
One pallet or a hundred
Ship a single pallet or a weekly program: request a quote here, or open an account and quote and book LTL yourself in the platform.
See it on your own lanes
In 15 minutes we quote your real lanes across the modes you ship, show the Control Tower and booking flow, and answer questions about setup. Accounts are set up after a quick credit check, and there’s no software to install.

Questions we hear
How are LTL rates calculated?
Carriers price LTL by lane (distance and zone), weight, freight class (density and handling), and accessorials such as liftgate or residential delivery, plus a fuel surcharge. That's why the same pallet can price very differently across carriers, and why comparing them pays.
Can I book LTL online?
Yes. With an account you pick a rate, confirm pickup details and print the bill of lading in the platform. Armstrong's LTL team is behind every booking for claims, appointments and problems.
Which carriers are included?
50+ national and regional LTL carriers, including the large national networks and regional carriers that often price best inside their footprint.
What if my shipment is too big for LTL?
The platform flags shipments that break carriers' size rules and prices volume LTL and a full truckload beside the LTL rates, so you see every option.
