Avoiding Extra Charges on Regulated & Specialty Freight

Products like alcohol and tobacco live under constantly shifting rules. Rates and paperwork change more often than most categories, so quoting directly with a single carrier can be slow and still miss better options.

The smarter path is to compare mode and carrier digitally, confirm accessorials up front, and keep your compliance file tight so freight isn't held at transfer points.

If you ship regulated SKUs frequently, maintain a checklist for licenses, route restrictions, and delivery ID requirements by state.
