Shipping from Arizona
Arizona freight rates Arizona freight rates are substantially affected by the produce market. Outbound freight can be expensive in the spring, summer and even fall months due to the warmer desert climate which creates a longer growing season. Products arriving from Mexico can also affect freight rates in Arizona. Arizona is a medium consumption state, so LTL freight rates are relatively cheap due to a moderate amount of freight moving in the state. There are numerous unpopulated desert areas, so shipping to those zip codes can be high cost. The copper industry is strong and with major railroad access, intermodal freight rates are reasonable. The ease and cost of shipping into or out of Arizona can be heavily based on proximity to major metro areas.
Shipping to Louisiana
Louisiana freight rates Louisiana features great truckload rates due to its high traffic port located in southern Louisiana. This port is located on the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge and is one of the largest volume shipping ports in the western hemisphere. LTL freight, international freight and intermodal rail freight are cost effective and large in volume. The ease and cost of shipping into or out of Louisiana can be heavily based on proximity to major metro areas.
