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 South Carolina
South Carolina freight rates Textiles make South Carolina freight rates a bit trendier than other states. The Mid-Atlantic states in general are a bit harder to find truckload capacity, which can negatively affect truckload freight rates. The lumber industry can make freight shipping outbound South Carolina much more expensive during the fall than any other time. LTL freight rates can be more expensive in the rural areas of South Carolina and slightly above average in the more populated areas due to the factors listed above. The ease and cost of shipping into or out of South Carolina can be heavily based on proximity to major metro areas.
