There will be only one delivery attempt made by FedEx® that day–so it is critical that someone is available to accept the expedited order.

Truck Line Shipments
If your order meets a certain volume, shipping via truck line may be the most cost effective and economical method of shipping for you. If your order does indeed meet the criteria, we will contact you to see if shipping by truck line is the best option. For your convenience, we have added some FAQs regarding truck line shipments below.

1. When does an order qualify to be investigated as a truck line order? An order qualifies for truck line investigation when the weight of the order reaches 450lbs, which includes 33lbs added for the pallet. Or, when the volume of the order reaches .825 of a full pallet (full pallet is 106 cubic feet) which is 87.45 cubic feet.

2. What is a lift gate for a truck line order? A lift gate is required when the customer does not have a loading dock or a fork lift. A lift gate allows the truck driver to pull the pallet of product to the end of the truck and lower the pallet to the ground for delivery to the customer. Additional charges apply.

3. Why are appointments required for truck line orders? Appointments are required because truck drivers must have someone sign for the delivered freight. Truck lines cannot leave freight at a customer's location without a signature. Appointments are also required when a customer needs to know a time for delivery to their business if they need to have labor available to help handle the delivery. Additional charges apply.

4. What is inside delivery? Inside delivery is required when a truck driver has to unload and transport the freight inside the customer's place of business. Additional charges apply.

5. What is a residential delivery? Residential delivery occurs when the customer does not have a commercial address thus requiring the truck line to deliver to a house/residence. Truck lines have to use a special truck that is smaller than their regular trucks for these type of deliveries. Additional charges apply.

6. What is a routing guide? A routing guide is provided by any customer who has specific guidelines for handling their orders. A routing guide provides information and procedures to follow when processing an order.
