STRAIGHTANSWERS.

Avery Freight Lines is a third-party logistics company and licensed freight broker. AFL builds the plan for your shipment, books a vetted carrier or partner facility with the right equipment, and coordinates the load from pickup to delivery, with one accountable contact the whole way. That covers LTL, partial and full truckload, flatbed, refrigerated, expedited, white glove, heavy haul, data center and modular home logistics, intermodal, air freight, and warehousing.

AFL is a licensed property broker, registered with the FMCSA as MC-1496960 and USDOT 3990619. AFL plans the move, books a vetted motor carrier for it, and coordinates the load until it delivers; the carrier performs the transportation. You get one accountable partner with the capacity of a whole carrier network behind it.

Every carrier is checked before it is booked: active operating authority, current insurance, and its safety record. AFL then matches your load to a carrier with the right equipment and experience for that freight and lane, and stays on the load until it delivers.

AFL handles it. A delay, a weather reroute, or an equipment issue gets worked directly with the carrier, and your specialist calls you with the situation and the recovery plan before you have to ask. One accountable contact owns it from start to finish.

Across all 50 U.S. states, Alaska and Hawaii included, every Canadian province, Mexico, and Puerto Rico, with cross-border moves between them. International freight moves through AFL’s vetted air and forwarding partners.

Use Request a Quote on any page, or call (909) 918-5477 to talk to a specialist. Send the pickup and delivery locations, what the freight is, its weight and dimensions, how it is packaged, and when it needs to move. A specialist follows up with a rate and a plan to move it.

By the market and the service. Truckload and partial rates follow the lane, the equipment, the timing, and fuel, the same supply and demand that moves every truck on the road. LTL is priced from each carrier’s tariff by freight class, weight, and distance. Specialized moves add permits, escorts, or special equipment. AFL quotes against its vetted carrier network and names any extra service up front.

LTL carriers price by freight class, a standard set by the National Motor Freight Traffic Association: 18 classes from 50 for dense, durable freight to 500 for light, bulky freight. Class reflects density, how the freight stows and handles, and its liability, and the NMFTA began moving more items to density-based classes in July 2025. Accurate dimensions and weights keep the class right and help you avoid reclassification charges, so AFL confirms them with you before it quotes.

Services beyond a standard dock-to-dock move: a liftgate, residential or limited-access delivery, inside delivery, a delivery appointment, extra stops, detention or layover when a truck waits, and permits or escorts for oversized freight. Tell AFL about them when you request the quote and they are priced in from the start.

LTL moves with a common carrier that consolidates your freight with other shippers’ and handles it through one or more break-bulk terminals before delivery. It generally fits six pallets or fewer and, depending on the carrier, about 8,000 pounds or less, priced from the carrier’s tariff. A partial buys deck space on one truck, and your freight stays on that truck from pickup to delivery with no terminal handling. A full truckload is a dedicated truck, priced for the whole trailer however much of it you use. AFL arranges all three and matches your load to the right one.

A high-roof, extended cargo van gives you about 13 to 14 feet of floor, about 70 inches of width with roughly 54 inches between the wheel wells, and about 6.5 feet of height. Payload runs about 3,000 to 5,000 pounds depending on the van, and the rear doors open about 5 feet wide by 6 feet tall, room for two to four standard pallets. Send the dimensions and weight and AFL confirms the fit before it books the van.

A 53-foot dry van holds 26 standard 48 by 40 inch pallets on the floor, up to 52 when the freight can be stacked, and about 42,000 to 45,000 pounds of cargo within the federal 80,000-pound gross limit. A 26-foot box truck holds about 12 standard pallets on the floor. AFL sizes the equipment to your load, from a cargo van to a full trailer.

Choose expedited when the deadline matters more than the rate: a production-down emergency, a missed delivery window, or a just-in-time supply chain. AFL arranges dedicated capacity and direct routing, from cargo vans to full truckload. Team drivers alternate behind the wheel so the truck keeps moving nearly around the clock, which pays off on long, time-critical lanes.

When it runs past the legal limits, roughly 8′6″ wide, 13′6″ tall, or 80,000 pounds gross, a load needs state permits and often escorts. AFL’s heavy haul team coordinates the permits, route surveys, and escorts through the vetted carrier for every state on the lane, so the load moves legally and on plan.

Transformers, generators, and switchgear, battery cabinets and energy storage, servers and IT equipment, and the steel, rebar, and building materials for the build. AFL plans each load, arranges the permits and the right vetted specialized carrier, and stages deliveries to the site’s schedule.

Final mile is the last leg of a shipment, from a local hub to the recipient. White glove adds the care: the freight is blanket-wrapped and strapped for the ride, lowered on a liftgate at the curb, and carried inside by dolly or forklift to where it goes.

A modular home is built in factory sections to the same state and local codes as a site-built home, then set on a permanent foundation. A manufactured or mobile home is built to the federal HUD code on a permanent steel chassis. The two take different permits and handling, and AFL specializes in modular home transport.

Permits typically take 5 to 15 business days, depending on the states on the route. Transit runs from a single day for a local move to several days cross-country, and the crane set itself usually takes hours. AFL schedules delivery around your crane and set crew so each module goes from the yard to the foundation on set day.

Your specialist coordinates the load from pickup to delivery and keeps you posted, reaching out first when anything changes. You can also look a shipment up any time with Track a Shipment in the site menu.

Every load delivers against a signed bill of lading, and AFL sends you the signed proof of delivery on request. Ask your specialist or email the billing team with the load number.

Shippers can email ar@averyfreight.com with the invoice or load number. The AFL billing team answers statement, invoice, and payment questions.

AFL sets up carriers through Highway. At averyfreight.com/carriers, send your MC or DOT number, create your free Highway profile, and AFL sends your invite through Highway. AFL onboards carriers with active operating authority. Questions? Email carriercompliance@averyfreight.com.

Send the invoice to ap@averyfreight.com with the signed rate confirmation and the signed bill of lading or proof of delivery. An invoice that matches the rate confirmation, with the load number on every document, keeps payment moving.

Email the signed Notice of Assignment to ap@averyfreight.com with the carrier’s name, MC number, and remit-to details. AFL updates the carrier’s payment record so its invoices pay to the factor until a release arrives.
