Questions shippers ask
My industry is not listed. Can Fission still move it?
Yes, if it rides on a flatbed, a Conestoga, a step deck, a double drop or a multi axle unit. Send the freight, the weight and the lane and dispatch prices it within 1 business hour, 7 am to 5 pm ET.
Do you run the same trucks for every industry?
Yes. The same 80 trucks and 140 trailers carry coil for a stamper on Monday and shingles for a roofing distributor on Tuesday. Coil racks, timbers, chains and straps ride on every truck.
Do you cross the border for every industry?
Yes. We are CTPAT validated and PIP, FAST and CSA approved, and dispatch files the ACE or ACI eManifest on every cross border load. The customs broker is always yours.
