Surfaces Transport, like nearly every truckload carrier, has established hot trucking routes that they serve better than others. Even nationwide trucking companies are able to be more competitive on some shipping lanes than others. Similar to how airlines offer better prices to some cities, there are certain delivery routes that fit into a sweet spot for trucking companies.

A trucking lane is designated as hot for a variety of reasons, but it all comes down to available space on trailers or excess capacity on established routes. Savvy traffic managers and shipping coordinators know which companies best serve their various destination cities and lanes. Finding a freight hauler with hot routes that match your needs can mean significant savings on shipping costs. Every dollar you save on freight charges directly impacts your bottom line.

Surfaces Transport makes daily runs to northern Georgia. Our line hauls have excess capacity on the way down. This allows us to not only offer very low shipping rates to Georgia but also gives us the opportunity to provide fast delivery service in and around Dalton, GA.
