Many people confuse the terms shipment and freight, using them interchangeably. Shipment is the act of moving goods or products through the system, whereas freight is the actual product that is being moved.

Most types of freight are acceptable to move by a Kuperus driver. The freight must meet the required size restrictions and must be legal and safe to move. If you have any questions about a specific type of freight restriction, a member of the Kuperus team can guide you through the details.

There are several variables that go into the shipping rate. The size of the freight, including the height, length, width, weight, and density, is one factor. The distance of the move and the difficulty of the moving job can come into play. Higher value or more delicate freight leads to more liability when it comes to breakage or theft, so the rates may also reflect this added need for insurance.

In some circumstances, the total weight of the freight can be estimated as closely as possible, but in most cases, an exact weight is recommended. When the freight is loaded, weight is used to make sure it is safe to haul and will not be subject to fines. Feel free to request a quote here.
