Freight Shipping Questions, Answered
We offer power only trucking, hot shot trucking, industrial and heavy hauling, expedited freight, LTL shipping, and refrigerated freight. We also handle tilt-bed and roll-off hauling for shipping containers and skid-mounted equipment, plus freight management for businesses with recurring loads. See all of our freight services.
Both. We run our own trucks and drivers, and we broker freight through a network of vetted asset carriers. When our fleet is the right fit, we haul your load ourselves. When it needs different equipment or more capacity, we book a trusted partner and manage the shipment for you, so you always have one point of contact.
Yes. We’re based in Utah and have moved freight for customers across the United States since 2016. Our carrier network lets us cover regional, long-haul, and specialized loads throughout the country.
Our headquarters is in the Salt Lake Valley in Utah. We serve shippers nationwide, so you don’t need to be local to work with us.
Call us at 385-529-0278, email team@shippinglsl.com, or request a quote online. We’ll review your shipment and follow up with pricing and next steps.
Pickup and delivery locations, what you’re shipping, approximate weight and dimensions, how it’s packaged (pallets, crates, loose, or a piece of equipment), any special equipment needs like a reefer, tilt-bed, or liftgate, and your pickup and delivery timeline. The more detail you share, the faster and more accurate your quote will be.
Every quote depends on the shipment. The biggest factors are distance, weight and dimensions, the type of equipment needed, how quickly it has to arrive, any permits or special handling, and current truck capacity in the lanes you’re shipping. That’s why we quote each load individually instead of publishing flat rates.
Hot shot trucking uses a heavy-duty pickup and flatbed trailer to move smaller or partial loads quickly and directly. Expedited freight is priority service for any time-critical shipment, often on a dedicated truck with no transfers. If your load is small and urgent, hot shot is often the most efficient choice. If it’s larger and can’t wait, expedited is usually the better fit.
Power only means you supply the trailer and we supply the tractor and driver. It’s a good fit for businesses that own or lease trailers but need help moving them, whether it’s a one-time relocation, overflow during a busy season, or ongoing dedicated support.
Less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping makes sense when your freight only takes up part of a trailer, such as a few pallets. You pay for the space you use and share the truck with other shippers. If your load is large, urgent, or can’t be handled multiple times, we’ll recommend a dedicated option instead.
Yes. We move machinery, construction equipment, skid-mounted units, and oversize loads. Our drivers and partner carriers follow the permit, securement, and safety requirements these loads require, and we can use tilt-bed or roll-off trucks when a standard trailer won’t work.
Yes. We coordinate temperature-controlled reefer transport for food, produce, and other temperature-sensitive products, with consistent refrigeration from pickup to delivery. Let us know your required temperature range when you request a quote.
We use text-message load tracking, so you get location updates sent straight to your phone while your freight is moving. The same system speeds up processing of your shipping documents once the load delivers.
Yes. Large Scale Logistics LLC is bonded and insured, so you can be confident your freight is in good hands from pickup to delivery.
Yes. We haul 20ft and 40ft containers on tilt-bed and roll-off trucks, whether it’s a move between job sites, a yard relocation, or a delivery to a new property.
