FAQ

Below we have listed helpful information for you to reference when quoting with Global Forwarding.

• Our system is valid up to 12 linear feet. As a general rule, this would be 6 standard non stackable pallets (40”x48”).

• The system is valid up to 12,500#. Anything that exceeds these dimensions should be emailed to: domestic@globalforwarding.com and he will provide you with an accurate rate.

• Try to avoid using Consolidators. While they are generally the cheapest, their ETA’s are inaccurate.

• TIPS FOR AVOIDING REBILLS:

  • Always use the right class & NMFC #! If you are unsure; please email or call us 877-287-0804 Ext 103 (Casey)

  • If you don’t have a scale, always round up your weight when estimating. It is much cheaper to be overweight then underweight.

  • Don’t use round numbers on your BOL’s such as (1,000lbs, 1,500lbs, 2,000lbs) carriers know that if you are using round numbers then you probably don’t use a scale and that is a red flag.

• Preventing Residential Delivery Fees:

  • Ensure your customer does NOT list a person's name in the “Company Name” section when entering the Shipper and Consignee addresses. This will assume to be a “Residential” delivery by the Carriers.

• Preventing a Lift-gate Rebill:

  • Review the Consignee/Shipper location

  • If there is no loading dock and the shipment is over 100 pounds, the delivery/pick-up will require a Lift-gate.
