Shipping from Virginia
Virginia freight rates Shipping freight in and out of Virginia is mostly impacted by the lumber market. During the fall, lumber and Christmas trees in the area tend to raise freight rates. In Norfolk, there is a lot of intermodal freight activity, so shipping freight by rail out of Virginia may be the cheapest option. Virginia LTL freight rates can be more expensive than other regions, especially the rural areas due to low volume. The ease and cost of shipping into or out of Virginia can be heavily based on proximity to major metro areas.
Shipping to Colorado
Colorado freight rates Freight rates for Colorado can be expensive in the winter due to steep roads with poor conditions. Generally, truckload freight dominates this market rather than intermodal freight. Outbound Colorado freight rates can be extremely low cost, but time to locate a truck can be tedious due to low capacity in some areas. However, the demand for outbound freight is high for freight carriers, so rates are generally low. The ease and cost of shipping into or out of Colorado can be heavily based on proximity to major metro areas.
