Choose the best mode for your freight.

‍

At Flock, we strive to find the best, most efficient ways to ship your freight. You’ll see different options for shipping your freight, depending on how big and heavy your shipment is.

• FlockDirect® is our guaranteed terminal-free service that moves goods on efficient routes with less damage and carbon emissions.
• Full Truckload reserves an entire trailer for your shipment. This is ideal for loads that take up more than 44 linear feet.
• Standard moves goods with one of our LTL or VLTL carrier partners.

Click See Pricing Options to see additional rates based on your pickup flexibility. The more flexibility you have, the greater the discounts we can offer.

‍

‍

Save more with flexible pickup dates.

‍

Not on a strict shipping deadline? When you choose 1-day or 2-day flexible pickup options, we’ll offer you a lower rate. This extra time makes it easier for us to combine your shipment with others as a shared truckload.

‍

Note: If you choose “No Flexibility,” your shipment will pick up and deliver on the dates you originally requested.

‍
