Shipping from Massachusetts
Massachusetts freight rates Massachusetts truckload rates tend to be higher going into the state than leaving it. The state is high consumption, so numerous goods need to be transported into the state - this decreases outbound freight rates due to a high availability of outbound trucks. Massachusetts has three major ports, the Boston location is one of the biggest in the U.S. Access to these ports and a major rail line make intermodal freight rates a great option. LTL freight is high in volume in the area so great LTL freight prices can be found easily. The ease and cost of shipping into or out of Massachusetts can be heavily based on proximity to major metro areas.
Shipping to Texas
Texas freight rates Texas freight shipping is very active due to port shipping, agriculture, oil and heavy industry throughout the state. Heavy machinery moving on flatbed trucks is common throughout intra-Texas. LTL freight rates are affordable in and out of Texas due to high volume. Seasonality is not usually a factor on Texas freight rates except during the peak agricultural months. The ease and cost of shipping into or out of Texas can be heavily based on proximity to major metro areas.
