What Information Is Needed for a Building Materials Freight Quote?

A building materials freight quote should include the commodity, origin, destination, total weight, dimensions, piece or pallet count, requested pickup and delivery dates, and required trailer type if known. Shippers should also provide the loading and unloading method, jobsite or facility requirements, delivery appointments, weather protection needs, and any other instructions that could affect equipment or carrier selection. Once those details are available, they can be submitted through Buchanan Logistics' Rate Request page.
