FAQ’S

A freight class is configured by the combination of weight, value, density, likelihood of damage, and ease of moving. All items have been specifically classified and assigned a category code by the National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFC) as a freight industry standard. When determining your freight class, be as specific and accurate as possible in your description to avoid extra shipping costs by the shipping company. Call our trained freight brokers to help you determine the correct class for your freight.

A bill of lading is standard, mandatory paperwork providing the carrier and driver with all pertinent information related to the shipping costs and information. This paperwork allows for proper billing to be processed by the shipping company and LINQ. All parties involved should have a copy of the BOL (buyer, seller and carrier). It is very important that the LINQ BOL be given to the carrier at the time of pickup. Also, keep one copy for your records.

LINQ has arranged low shipping rates because of the volume of shipments we process through our shipping companies. If our BOL and paperwork is modified or not used, the freight company will not know to bill us at these discounted shipping rates. In order to keep shipping costs low, make sure the shipper uses only LINQ’s BOL when authorizing the freight to the driver at pickup. Not using our paperwork could result in more hassle and extra shipping costs from freight companies.LINQ has arranged low shipping rates because of the volume of shipments we process through our shipping companies.

If your freight arrives damaged, it is important to accept the shipment in order to document the claim correctly. A claim must be filed within 48 hours of delivery, and can be done directly online on our site. LINQ will act as liaison and assist the customer in processing the claim and filing all necessary paperwork, though we cannot guarantee all claims will be accepted from the shipping company.

Due to the high volume we ship through our network of carriers, we are able to secure largely discounted shipping rates. Your shipping quotes are based on the information provided to LINQ at the time of booking. Any changes or differences in the weight, class, size, or location can result in additional shipping costs. To ensure that your shipping rates stay in line as originally quoted, be sure to use the LINQ BOL provided. This lets the carrier know to bill LINQ at the pre-negotiated freight rates and discounts.

A re-bill takes place if and when the information provided for the shipment changes, such as the type of commodity, weight, dimensions, pick-up, delivery location, and distance. These variables all influence the cost to ship; if a discrepancy is found the rate is susceptible to change. The best way to avoid a change in shipping rates is to ensure that all information given to LINQ at the time of booking is 100% complete and accurate.
