If you have a few pallets to move from Austin to El Paso next week, this page explains how LTL is priced, how long it takes, what is included, and what to send for a quote.

Request a load

Freight: Palletized freight, from one pallet up to a partial load.
Distance: About 580 miles, most of it on Interstate 10.
Typical transit: Scheduled service with a committed transit window.
Included: Pickup, consolidated linehaul, load-level tracking and proof of delivery.

How LTL from Austin to El Paso is priced

LTL rates are based on the freight's weight, its freight class and the lane. Freight class is set by the National Motor Freight Classification and depends mostly on density, so give accurate pallet dimensions and weights when you ask for a quote. There is no minimum truck commitment.

Accessorial services such as liftgate delivery, inside delivery, appointment delivery and residential delivery are priced separately by most carriers. List anything your receiver needs when you request the quote so the price matches the job.

How the shipment moves

You request a pickup with the freight class, weight, pallet count and delivery address, and Texas Freight Co. confirms a pickup window. Your pallets are grouped with compatible loads on the same lane and travel on a scheduled run with a committed transit window. You can follow the shipment from pickup to delivery and receive proof of delivery when it arrives.

When full truckload makes more sense

If your shipment takes up most of a trailer or the freight cannot share space with other loads, a direct full truckload in a dry van may be faster and cost about the same. Ask dispatch to quote both. For a deadline that LTL cannot meet, Texas Freight Co. also runs expedited service with a dedicated driver.

Preparing pallets for LTL

Stack freight squarely on the pallet without overhang, stretch-wrap it, and label each pallet with the shipper, consignee and piece count. Measure the length, width and height of each pallet after wrapping and weigh it, because those figures set the density and the freight class.

If the weight or class on the bill of lading does not match the freight, LTL carriers can reweigh or reinspect it and correct the invoice. Accurate numbers at booking avoid that adjustment. Mark freight that cannot be stacked or turned so it is loaded correctly at each handling point.

What to send for a quote

Send the pickup address in Austin and ready date, the El Paso delivery address, the number of pallets, the dimensions and weight of each pallet, the commodity and freight class if you know it, and any liftgate or appointment requirements at either end.
