Are there any size or weight restrictions?

Asked 4 months ago
YRC Worldwide has specific size and weight restrictions that customers should be aware of when shipping with their services. Generally, each shipment must comply with the maximum weight limit, which is typically 45,000 pounds for standard shipments. In addition to weight, there are also dimensions to consider. A standard freight shipment should not exceed a maximum length of 28 feet, with additional restrictions on width and height, typically requiring it to fit within the defined parameters for LTL, or less than truckload services. For shipments that exceed these standard dimensions or weight limits, YRC may offer special services or arrangements, but these usually require advanced planning and may incur additional fees. It is always beneficial for customers to check the most current information on the YRC website, as guidelines can change and may vary based on specific routes or cargo types. Moreover, YRC provides resources and tools on their website that can help customers determine the most accurate shipping options based on their unique needs. Understanding these restrictions can facilitate smoother shipping and handling processes.
