Option 2: LTL (Truck Freight) = Orders of products over 13” and more than 65 lbs.

Option 3: Dedicated Truck Loads

Due to the weight and fragile nature of our products, we typically do not offer any kind of expedited shipping options.

FREIGHT NOTES

• We do not segment out items from POs to ship separate

• We provide Freight Quotations as a courtesy – however, Trucking Companies may sometime increase their charges based on Access, Waiting Time, Destination Detention, etc which Abaco cannot control or be responsible for.

What Locations Are Limited Access?
One general way to think about this type of service is if your shipment is delivering to or being picked up at any commercial establishment that is not open to the walk-in public during the normal business hours of 8AM-5PM (though this does not mean it won’t qualify for limited access). Examples may include construction sites, fairs and carnivals, mine sites, schools or universities, churches, storage facilities, piers, airports, farm or ranches, campgrounds, zoos, reservations, government facilities, hotels/motels or resorts, hospitals, doctor’s offices and small strip malls. Always remember it is up to the carrier to determine whether or not a location is “limited.”

PALLETS

When Abaco arranges your truck freight, we include the pallet charges in the Freight Cost.

If you elect to arrange your own Truck Freight, please send the completed Bill of Lading in a timely manner. You will be charged a Pallet Charge per the following schedule:
