Listed below, you will find details about some of the favored shipping methods LSID provides to our customers.
DRY VAN SHIPPING
DRY VAN SHIPPING
Dry Van Shipping is a preferred and trusted freight transportation method. Dry van shipping has an enclosed trailer and ample availability.
DROP AND HOOK
The “drop and hook” method is dropping an empty trailer and hooking up a loaded trailer to deliver. The Drop and Hook delivery is cost-effective and saves time. When we save time loading, unloading, and processing, you add efficiency to your system and focus on other essential tasks.
DROP AND HOOK
FLATBED SHIPPING
FLATBED SHIPPING
Flatbed shipping transports freight that does not require the enclosure of a dry van. The flatbed shipping option is also used when cargo cannot be loaded or unloaded from a standard dock or does not fit within the typical truck trailer dimensions. Flatbed shipping provides easy accessibility and freight can be added using cranes or forklift at various angles to a flatbed trailer.
Wherever your product is going, whatever the final destination, we provide solutions mile after mile through our variety of logistic services. LSID provides personalized services to meet your full load truckload needs, no matter how big or small.
REFRIGERATED (Reefer)
A reefer is a refrigerated trailer which is essentially a dry van with insulation and refrigeration capabilities. These trailers can be adjusted to specific temperatures assuring your freight is kept at the necessary environment during transit.
Some of the benefits of Reefers include:
- Reefer trailers can easily haul both refrigerated and dry goods.
- Refrigerated trucks are a perfect fit for perishable products, food, and beverage shippers. This can include items such as fine-art pieces and flowers.
- There is always a demand for perishable items, fresh products, and a refrigerated truck to transport them.
- You can adjust and monitor the temperature inside the trailer.
- Your goods are protected from weather conditions, spoiling, and theft.

ADVANTAGES OF ASSET-BASED SOLUTIONS
Here at LSID, we are not limited to communicating and coordinating with third-party trucking firms. Instead, we bring our ownership of critical components to the table, including trucking companies. This control, because we are asset-based, makes a big difference for our customers and their success.

Because of our asset-based solutions, we can provide a smooth and continuous trucking experience. This permits us to still deliver even during peak seasons as we have the necessary assets.
