What truckload shipping services does Averitt offer in Charleston?

Averitt provides full truckload shipping in Charleston including standard dry van, expedited and time-critical loads, and drop and hook trailer programs. Our asset-based fleet and vetted North American carrier network give you capacity for moves across the region, nationwide, and across the borders into Canada and Mexico.

What is the difference between truckload and LTL shipping?

Truckload shipping dedicates an entire trailer to a single shipment that moves directly from pickup to delivery with no rehandling, which suits larger or time-sensitive freight. LTL, or less-than-truckload, combines freight from multiple shippers in one trailer and moves through service centers, which is more cost-effective for smaller shipments. Averitt offers both.

Does Averitt provide cross-border truckload service to Canada and Mexico?

Yes. Averitt handles cross-border truckload freight to and from both Canada and Mexico, backed by partnerships with top carriers in each country and an in-house customs clearance team. Our USMCA specialists manage the paperwork so your freight keeps moving across the border.

What types of truckload equipment does Averitt offer?

Averitt provides dry van, flatbed, refrigerated, and intermodal truckload capacity across North America. For time-critical shipments, exclusive-use options range from cargo van and straight truck up to 53-foot dry van, matched to your deadline.

Is Averitt an asset-based truckload carrier?

Yes. Averitt is a privately held, asset-based carrier with more than 55 years of experience and its own truckload fleet of modern equipment. That fleet is backed by a highly vetted network of North American carrier partners, giving you added capacity when you need it and reliable coverage across the continent.
