Typical weight
A few hundred lbs to a full truckload
Typical equipment
Dry van with moving blankets/furniture pads
Furniture freight moves from manufacturer to distribution center, showroom, or retail store — often palletized or floor-loaded, needing careful handling to prevent cosmetic damage to finished surfaces. KeepShippin moves furniture via LTL for smaller shipments and FTL dry van for full truckloads, with moving blankets/furniture pads and inside delivery to get pieces past the dock and into a showroom or home.
Handling notes
- Floor-loaded (unpalletized) furniture costs more to handle — flag it at quote time
- Moving blankets protect finished surfaces from scuffing
- Inside delivery gets furniture past the dock into a showroom or room of choice
