1. What makes Top Notch Freight Systems different from other logistics providers?
We are more than a carrier — we are a single-vendor partner. With over 12 years of experience, a nationwide network of 70+ warehouses and 25,000+ trucks, and boots on the ground at ports, we deliver end-to-end logistics solutions with precision, visibility, and cost efficiency.
3. Do you provide logistics support for renewable energy projects like solar farms?
Yes. We specialize in solar logistics, moving panels, racking systems, inverters, and oversized equipment to job sites nationwide. We align freight scheduling with construction milestones, ensuring projects stay on time and within budget.
4. Can you handle oversized and heavy-haul freight?
Absolutely. Our nationwide trucking network includes flatbeds, step decks, heavy-haul equipment, and specialized trailers. We handle oversized freight, breakbulk cargo, and project loads with full compliance to FMCSA/DOT standards.
5. Do you offer bonded or FTZ warehousing?
Yes. We operate bonded and FTZ warehouses, along with bonded trucking services, to simplify import handling, customs clearance, and secure storage of international freight.
6. How do you provide visibility and communication during shipments?
We use an advanced Transportation Management System (TMS) that provides real-time tracking, live updates, and proof of delivery (POD). Customers always know the status of their shipments and can bill faster with instant documentation.
7. What is drayage, and how can Top Notch Freight Systems help?
Drayage is the transport of containers from ports or rail terminals to warehouses or final destinations. We operate 5,000+ drayage trucks nationwide, covering everything from 20’ to 53’ containers, heavy loads, flat racks, and open tops. Our tracking systems prevent demurrage or per diem fees — and if it ever happens due to our fault, we cover it.
8. Do you offer nationwide trucking for smaller shipments too?
Yes. In addition to heavy-haul and flatbeds, we provide dry vans, hotshots, and box trucks, making us flexible enough to handle one-off shipments, dedicated routes, or large project rollouts across all 48 states.
9. Can you manage large, complex logistics projects?
Yes. We specialize in large project logistics, coordinating multiple modes of transport, strict schedules, and high-volume moves. Our expertise ensures even the most complex projects run smoothly from start to finish.
10. Do you provide end-to-end logistics solutions?
Yes. Many customers choose us for complete door-to-door coverage, which means fewer vendors, fewer headaches, and one point of accountability. But if you only need help with one part of the process — like drayage, warehousing, or trucking — we’re just as happy to assist.
11. Do you provide full and partial vessel chartering services?
Yes. We arrange both full and partial charter vessels for breakbulk and containerized cargo. Our direct connections with breakbulk carriers allow customers to work directly with our partner carriers for better visibility, faster communication, and the most competitive rates.
12. What are the benefits of using a partial vessel charter?
A partial charter allows customers to share vessel space, making it cost-efficient for smaller or mid-size shipments that don’t require a full ship. It’s an excellent option when you need the flexibility of ocean transport without paying for unused capacity.
13. How do full vessel charters help with large projects?
For large, high-volume, or oversized projects, a full vessel charter ensures your cargo moves on your schedule with priority loading and discharging. Combined with our priority berth access at major U.S. ports, this helps minimize delays and keep critical projects on track.
14. Do you offer nationwide warehousing?
Yes. We operate 70+ warehouses strategically located near major U.S. ports and transportation hubs. This allows us to reduce transportation costs by staging freight closer to your project or delivery site.
15. What services are available at your warehouses?
Our facilities offer transloading, cross-docking, bonded/FTZ storage, hazmat handling, oversized laydown yards, packing, crating, and inventory management. Every location is staffed by knowledgeable professionals focused on efficiency, accuracy, and clear reporting.
16. How does nationwide warehousing save me money?
By having warehouses across the U.S., we can position freight closer to your destination. This reduces long-haul trucking distances, cuts transportation costs, and keeps deliveries on schedule.
