How To Save Moving Cost By Using Less-Than-Load Freight Shipping

August 6, 2020 by Danny Leave a Comment

Moving home is a stressful process. One of the reasons for the stress is the sheer cost of moving your belongings between homes. To survive your move without breaking the bank, you need to capitalize on every opportunity that you can find to cut moving costs and expenses. Every single one!

Below are some ways of how you can cut the cost of moving home.

1. Choose your move day carefully

Moving mid-week is far less popular than during the weekends or on Mondays which means you stand a better chance of getting your choice of mover at a cheaper price.

2. Declutter

The fewer belongings you have the less it will cost to move. Having a thorough declutter before your moving day will mean you need fewer packing materials, lower labour charges and lower moving cost.

3. Shop around for a removal firm

If you do decide to use professional movers make sure you shop around for the best removal firms at Shiply, a platform where you can read independent reviews on rated removal firms.

4. Cut your packing costs

The cost of boxes, bubble wrap and tape can quickly mount up. Start collecting unwanted and free boxes before your moving day and ask friends and family to lend you any boxes that they have.

5. Use Less-Than-Load Freight Shipping

Less-than-load freight (LTL) shipping typically involves the shipping of large items (or multiple smaller items) that will not take up the entirety of a vehicle’s space. It is often cheaper than other freight services as it does not require an entire journey to be made to ship just your items, instead they are added to a vehicle already making a journey.

The main advantage to using LTL freight shipping is that a shipment may be transported for a fraction of the cost of hiring an entire truck and trailer for an exclusive shipment. Since the carrier is already moving multiple freight shipments from multiple shippers, the freight carrier pools all the shipments onto a single freight truck. Therefore, each shipper pays a fraction of the cost of utilizing the truck or trailer.

If you have just a few large and heavy items to move to your new place, you can use LTL freight shipping from shipping service sites like Shipy, an online shipment marketplace that connects shipping companies and customers. They empower shipping companies to maximize spare vehicle space (thus reducing harmful CO2 emissions by reducing the number of otherwise wasteful trips), all while providing users with the best possible price for their shipment.
