About

R+L Carriers is a freight shipping and logistics company that serves businesses with less-than-truckload freight, truckload moves, and broader shipping needs. It is known for freight quotes, pickup requests, transit-time tools, tracking, and domestic and international shipping services.

ShipStation gives businesses using R+L Carriers a clearer way to run freight. Your team can compare LTL options, create labels, manage pickup requests, and keep shipment details visible without bouncing between separate systems.

That matters when freight starts to slow down the rest of your operation. ShipStation helps you manage R+L Carriers activity alongside parcel shipping, so pallets and packages stay inside one workflow. You get stronger cost control through rate comparison, better consistency through automation rules and batch printing, and less freight admin because documents, bills of lading, and tracking stay tied to the same shipping process.

Why R+L Carriers users choose ShipStation

One workflow for every mode

ShipStation brings parcel and LTL freight into the same workspace, so your team does not have to split daily work across separate shipping tools. That single workflow supports 50+ LTL freight carriers and 200+ parcel carriers.

Cleaner freight paperwork

Freight work comes with more admin. ShipStation keeps key shipment details, bills of lading, labels, and pickup activity organized in the same flow, which cuts back on back-and-forth and gives your team a clearer shipping record.

Keep carrier strategy flexible

ShipStation lets you compare rates across carriers while still using your own negotiated pricing. That gives R+L Carriers shippers more control over cost, service choice, and shipment planning without locking every move into one path.

Built for growing operations

ShipStation supports over 1 million businesses and processes 1 billion packages annually. As freight volume grows, batch printing, automation rules, and one shared shipping workspace help your team stay organized without piling on more manual work.

FAQ

R+L Carriers and ShipStation FAQ for freight rates, labels, and tracking

Frequently asked questions about setup, labels, rates, and returns

ShipStation gives R+L Carriers shippers one place to manage core freight work. You can:

  • Compare freight rates and transit options
  • Create freight labels and handle batch printing
  • Manage pickup requests and shipment documents
  • Track freight alongside the rest of your shipping activity

R+L Carriers is best known for freight shipping, especially less-than-truckload shipments that are larger than parcel but do not need a full truckload. ShipStation is useful when your business handles both freight and parcel, because it keeps both shipment types in one workflow instead of splitting them across separate tools.

Tracking stays visible inside the same shipping workflow your team already uses for labels and shipment management. That makes it easier to check freight status without jumping between tools, and it gives your team better visibility across both parcel and freight activity.

The lowest-cost option depends on the lane, shipment details, service level, and your negotiated rates. ShipStation helps by comparing rates and transit choices, so you can pick the best-value option for each shipment instead of relying on guesswork. **Tip:** Review both price and service fit before booking freight.

Yes. ShipStation helps keep freight admin in one place, which makes the workflow easier to manage. That includes:

  • Pickup request activity
  • Freight labels
  • Bills of lading and related shipment documents
  • Shipment details tied to tracking and carrier choice

Yes. You can add insurance to shipments by choosing an option from the Insurance menu before you create the label. Depending on your account’s home country, options may include ParcelGuard, Shipsurance, Total Shipping Protection, carrier insurance, or External.

ShipStation is built to reduce busywork as shipping volume grows. Batch printing and automation rules cut manual steps, while one shared workspace helps your team manage freight and parcel together. That gives growing operations more control without adding another standalone freight system.
