US, Canada, MexicoPicking the Right Service
A few rules of thumb for the calls shippers ask us about most.
Full, partial, or LTL?
If your freight fills a trailer or runs over 15,000 lbs, go full truckload. For 1 to 6 pallets that can share space, LTL is cheapest. In between, from 5,000 to 20,000 lbs, partial truckload keeps your freight on one trailer with class-free pricing.
Open deck?
Start with flatbed for steel, lumber, and machinery. Step up to step deck when the load is too tall for a flatbed, choose conestoga when weather or rust is a concern, and move to oversized and heavy haul once you cross legal limits and need permits and escorts.
Cold chain?
Temperature-controlled is the process page for food and pharma cold-chain rules. Reefer is its equipment twin, the refrigerated trailer itself. Both hold a precise setpoint with pre-cool and live monitoring.
On the clock?
Sprinter van moves small urgent loads direct, hotshot covers mid-size urgent freight on a gooseneck, and expedited dedicates a truck and team drivers when the deadline cannot slip.
Long lane on a budget?
Intermodal rail trims cost and emissions on lanes over 700 miles, trading a day of transit for the savings.
Crossing a border?
Cross-border wraps any of these with qualified carriers, customs brokers, and documented responsibilities for every accepted crossing into Canada and Mexico.

Freight Services, Answered
The platform is designed to request seventeen service and equipment categories. Actual service availability depends on active broker authority, a verified carrier, route requirements, and written confirmation for the shipment.
Start with four things: how big it is, how fast it has to move, whether it needs an enclosed van, temperature control, or an open deck, and whether it crosses a border. Our Find Your Freight Service matcher on this page walks you through exactly those questions and recommends a service in seconds, or a specialist will size it up at 539-252-8759.
A mode is how your freight moves, such as truckload, LTL, intermodal, or expedited. A trailer type is the equipment that carries it, such as a dry van, flatbed, reefer, or step deck. Many shipments combine both, for example a full truckload on a reefer. Our directory lets you browse either way.
It depends on size and timing. LTL is cheapest for one to six pallets because you only pay for the space you use. Partial truckload wins in the middle range. For full loads on long lanes, intermodal rail often beats over-the-road on cost. Flexible, economy timing usually lowers the rate on any service.
Yes. AFX runs a vetted nationwide carrier network covering all seventeen services, so a single point of contact and one rate can move palletized van freight today and a permitted heavy haul next week, without you sourcing a new broker for each.
A freight broker arranges transportation by matching freight to motor carriers; a 3PL may provide broader supply-chain work. AFX is an active FMCSA-authorized property broker that arranges freight with vetted motor carriers.
Cross-border requests are reviewed case by case. Written confirmation must identify the motor carriers, customs broker, documentation, equipment, and border hand-off responsibilities before service is accepted.
