Freight & LTL Shipping
in Magnolia, Texas.
Too big or too heavy for a normal box? Bring it to the counter. We pack it, palletize it, quote it across carriers, and put it on a truck.
Most freight companies want you on a loading dock with an account. We're a walk-in counter on FM 1488.
If It Won't Fit in a Box, We Ship It
Freight is anything heavier or bigger than a normal parcel. Here's what comes across our counter.
LTL (Less-Than-Truckload)
One or a few pallets that don't fill a whole trailer. We quote across carriers so you compare rates before it ships.
Hotshot & expedited
Time-sensitive or too-big-for-parcel? We have hotshot driver partners ready to move it direct.
Palletized & oversized
Machinery, furniture, equipment, bulk orders. We can palletize, shrink-wrap, and band it at the counter.
Freight forwarding
Coordinating a shipment across carriers or legs. Drop it with us and we handle the hand-offs.
Commercial & residential
Shipping to or from a business dock or a home. Tell us the destination type up front so the quote is right.
Crating & protective packing
For fragile, high-value, antique, or awkward loads, we build the protection before it goes on a truck.
Four Steps, One Counter
Bring it or describe it
Stop by with the item, or call with the weight, rough dimensions, and where it's going. That's what a freight quote needs.
We quote across carriers
We compare LTL and hotshot options so you see real numbers before anything moves. In-store quotes are estimates until the carrier weighs and measures.
We pack & palletize
We pack, palletize, wrap, and band it to survive a freight dock. Proper packing is the difference between arriving whole and arriving in pieces.
Booked, picked up, tracked
We book the carrier, hand off the shipment, and give you the tracking so you know where it is the whole way.
Straight Talk on Freight
Quotes are estimates until the carrier measures
Any price we give at the counter is an estimate. The final cost is set by the carrier on the actual weight, dimensions, and destination, and it appears on the Bill of Lading or carrier invoice. We'll always give you our best honest number up front.
25% of freight cost is non-refundable
Once a freight shipment is booked, 25% of the total freight cost is non-refundable. That's standard industry policy across all freight carriers, not just us. We tell you this before anything is booked so there are no surprises.
Residential delivery costs a little more
Delivering to a home instead of a business dock usually adds a residential fee and a liftgate charge, because there's no dock or forklift on the other end. Tell us it's residential when you get the quote so the number is right.

Freight Questions, Answered
Freight is priced by the carrier on actual weight, dimensions, and destination, so there's no flat rate. Bring the item in or call with the weight and rough size and we'll quote it across carriers the same day. Any number we give in-store is an estimate until the carrier weighs and measures the shipment.
Parcel (FedEx, UPS, USPS, DHL) is for boxes up to about 150 lbs. Freight is for anything heavier, palletized, or oversized — it rides a truck on a pallet instead of a conveyor. If your item is too big or too heavy for a normal box, it's a freight shipment.
Yes. We pack, palletize, shrink-wrap, band, and crate right at the counter. Freight docks are rough on shipments, so proper packing is most of what keeps your item in one piece. That's included in the quote.
Both. Residential delivery is available and usually adds a fee and a liftgate charge, since a home has no loading dock. Tell us it's residential up front so the quote is accurate and there are no surprises at delivery.
Yes. Per standard freight-industry policy across all carriers, 25% of the total freight cost is non-refundable once a shipment is booked. Quotes provided in-store are estimates and may differ from the final Bill of Lading or carrier invoice, which is set by the carrier on actual weight, dimensions, and destination.
LTL transit is usually a few business days depending on distance and the carrier's lane. Hotshot and expedited options move faster, often direct. We'll give you the realistic transit window with the quote.
