Freight Last Mile
Local delivery for palletized and commercial freight — not small parcel. Same-day and next-day windows, appointment and residential handling, running through the same order flow as line-haul.
How it works
Delivery window
Same-day or next-day window, with appointment scheduling where required.
Residential handling
Residential vs commercial detected up front so accessorials are quoted correctly.
Same order, same records
Runs through the same tracking, documents and reconciliation as the rest of the shipment.
What is included
What changes a local-delivery quote
Local freight delivery is shaped by the stop, the freight and the delivery window. Before requesting a quote, confirm:
When does it need to arrive?
Same-day, next-day or a scheduled appointment.
What kind of location is receiving it?
Commercial and residential deliveries may require different handling.
What is being delivered?
Include pallet count, dimensions, weight and handling requirements.
What has to happen at the stop?
Note appointment requirements and any accessorial needs before booking.
Does ShipMay offer white-glove delivery?
For qualifying projects — coordinated case by case with the delivery carrier. Mention it when requesting a quote.
Vehicle Options
What gets used depends on the freight and the stop — a rough guide:
| Vehicle | Best fit |
|---|---|
| Cargo Van | Small urgent commercial freight |
| Straight Truck | Medium local freight |
| 26' Box Truck | Palletized commercial delivery |
| 26' Box Truck + Liftgate | No-dock, residential and limited-access locations |
| Local FTL | Larger local and regional freight |
Other ways to move freight
LTL
Palletized freight, rated and tracked across multiple LTL carriers — with NMFC lookup, density-to-class estimation and accessorial validation built into the quote, before it ever reaches a carrier.
Truckload
Dedicated trailers for full loads, solo or team drivers, with equipment matching, rate confirmations and door-to-door tracking on every load.
Transload
The step between container freight and domestic distribution — a container arrives, gets broken down, and the freight inside continues on LTL, truckload, intermodal or last-mile. Coordinated through the platform; performed by licensed warehouse and trucking partners.
