There are a number of factors which could cause a shipment to not produce a quote on LTL Instant Rates. When this happens, you’ll be directed to our marketplace to create a listing. The following factors could keep you from getting a quote.

• Total piece count over 10 units when liftgate is required

Partner Integrations

GovPlanet 

• Packaging Type: Items marked as "LTL Loose" or "Parcel" on the GovPlanet website will not be eligible for Instant Rates 

• Multiple Items: GovPlanet Items will need to be shipped as separate orders or created manually through uShip.com, as the integration does not allow combining separate Item numbers into one shipment

If your shipment meets none of these criteria and the LTL Instant Rate Quotes are still not available to you, please contact our Commercial Support team by clicking here and they can assist you in investigating the issue.
