Full truckload
One shipper, one trailer, straight from pickup to delivery. It is the simplest way to move volume and the fastest transit you can buy.
When this is the right call
- You have enough freight to fill a trailer, or enough that you would rather not share one
- The load is fragile, high value, or you simply do not want it handled at a terminal
- You need a firm delivery date and the fewest possible touches between the two docks
Why the role matters here
Full truckload is the one service where we may put the load on our own equipment. When we do, ASE North is the carrier of record and the liability sits with us. When we place it with a carrier instead, you get their name, their MC number and their insurance before the truck arrives.
You will know which one applies before you commit, and it is written on the rate confirmation either way. That is the whole point of holding both authorities.
What we will not do
We will not accept your load and then quietly hand it to another broker. Re-brokering is how freight goes missing and how shippers end up paying twice. If we cannot cover it ourselves or place it directly with a carrier we have checked, we tell you we cannot cover it.

What we need to quote it
Give us these and the rate comes back accurate
A vague tender produces a vague number that changes later. These are the details that actually move the price.
| Origin and destination | City and state is enough to start. Exact addresses before dispatch. |
|---|---|
| Weight and pallet count | Legal limit is roughly 45,000 lb of payload on a standard van. Tell us if you are near it. |
| Commodity | What it is, not just the pallet count. It affects insurance and which carriers can take it. |
| Pickup window | The real one. We would rather turn a load down than accept a window we cannot hold. |
| Loading method | Dock, forklift, or live load versus drop trailer. |
