Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Ground freight refers to transporting goods over land, typically using trucks, without relying on shipping containers. Shipments are usually handled through Full Truckload (FTL) or Less-than-Truckload (LTL).

Less-than-Truckload shipping is ideal for shipments less than 12 pallets.

Maersk Ground Freight can support both B2B and B2C, depending on service model and shipment profile. The right structure depends on delivery density, appointment handling, and service‑level requirements such as white‑glove or reverse logistics.

Deciding between specialized LTL or heavy-bulky delivery typically depends on network structure, delivery density, and your origin pickup requirements. Specialized LTL suits distributed shipments across regions, while heavy‑bulky delivery is designed for dense, brand‑controlled programs that require dedicated routing and more complex in‑home services.

Maersk Ground Freight standard economy service typically ranges from 3–5 business days, depending on the origin and destination (e.g., Northeast to West Coast). We also offer expedited upgrades for next-day, 2-day, and 3-day delivery, and the price difference from economy service is often relatively modest. Transit estimates are indicative unless explicitly defined in a commercial agreement.
