Wind Delivery Services, Inc.

We may not be the least expensive carrier you could choose.  By offering you the following rate structures we are doing our very best to provide our services at the lowest rates possible while still maintaining our high standards of service and safety for the transport of your product.  

Scheduled Distribution Service:  This rate is based on truckload volume of multiple shipments to multiple destinations on a recurring schedule. By combining single pallet, less than truckload (LTL), shipments on a truck on the same day you will achieve your absolute lowest shipping cost per unit for your LTL moves. This is the rate that will produce your lowest shipping cost per unit and is the least expensive way for you and for us to distribute your LTL freight to your customers.  This is also the most direct, fastest and damage free way to get your products to your customers on a regular and recurring basis.  Your product goes from your location direct to your customers’ location for delivery on the same day as it was picked up. 

Single Pallet/Minimum Charge:  This rate is based on utilized floor space and destination. This is going to be your least expensive way for us to move a LTL single shipment of a single pallet to a single destination.  It is however also our most costly way for us to move your freight (in small quantities) and as such can be the highest shipping cost per unit for you. 

Per Pallet-Per BL:  This rate is also based on utilized floor space and destination. However this can become a less expensive rate when more than a single pallet is shipped as the rate per pallet reduces incrementally.  This is a rate for all commodities and is intended to be competitive to the traditional ‘cwt’ rates without all the different shipping classes for each commodity. Some shippers can establish a special rate with some carriers, called an FAK (freight all kinds), that is similar to our per pallet rate that we use for all our customers. Shipping more than a single pallet will of course also reduce your overall shipping cost per unit.

Local Truckload:  This rate is based on a truckload volume to a single local destination. A local truckload volume for us is only 8 pallets or 10,000 pounds, with a destination of less than 150 miles.   This rate will vary per shipment based on destination and will usually be your least expensive per pallet, per cwt and shipping cost per unit.  All local truckload shipments are delivered direct, without transfer, and usually on the same day as pickup.

OTR Truckload:  This rate is based on miles driven and is available for single, long distance truckload shipments for all locations throughout California that are over 150 miles in any one direction. This type of shipment can result in an economical shipping cost per unit depending on time and distance of travel.

Per Hour:  This rate is based on the amount of time the truck is devoted solely to you.  This rate can be used most effectively when short distance transport is needed.  The shorter miles traveled can result in more volume that can be moved. A truck and driver would be devoted solely to you at a rate for a predetermined amount of time rather than per Bill of Lading. This rate has a 4 hour minimum and is our most premium charge, therefore, the shipping cost per unit can vary widely.
