[QUOTE="stomlinson, post: 111790, member: 1831"] I'm not sure how you arrive at UPS CWT costing twice as much as an LTL move. What you pay for LTL is based on what kind of discount the carrier will give you. UPS account representatives, especially those that handle national accounts, will generally discount CWT pricing to beat LTL pricing. The problem for customers is the frequency and extent of damage. Right now, at the account I manage, we use CWT for certain products. The rate of damage is lower than that of palletized freight, but we do exclude certain produces from CWT. CWT is another option, and probably doesn't comepletely replace palletized freight moved with an LTL carrier. But it's still a good option. [/QUOTE]
