What information should I have ready when requesting a freight quote?
Provide origin and destination, pickup and delivery dates, pallet or piece count, dimensions, weight, commodity, and whether the shipment is hazardous, temperature-sensitive, oversized, or time-critical.
Can freight carriers handle urgent shipments from Wilmington?
Yes. Old Dominion lists same-day critical shipping, after-hours service, weekend delivery, and guaranteed-by-noon or guaranteed-by-5-PM options. Availability depends on the route, freight, and booking time.
