Truckloads/Partials
You could spend days – even weeks – trying to find a qualified truckload carrier at the right price. STG makes transportation simple. We help remove the headaches and stress of logistics. So you can keep your business moving forward and profitable. One call to STG and your freight moves anytime, anywhere in North America. Since STG partners with thousands of prequalified carriers, we can work with you to move just one shipment, or plan a custom transportation solution for your business.
Our solutions are able to achieve even the most specific request; such as tarping, expediting, multiple stops, pick-ups, appointment for delivery and/or cross-border services.
LTL
With the current economic conditions, your clients are not stocking their warehouses at the frequency they used to. More often, they only order what they need, when they need it. So when they place an order, they expect it to be moving the same day. Not a problem. With STG’s ‘less-than-load’ (LTL) shipping options, we afford you the freedom to ship at any time and at any capacity.
Our network of regional and super-regional carriers can get your shipment on the road towards any North American destination. Whether the transit is one day or one week, STG gives you access to routing and tracking software that will push real-time shipping updates all the way to its final destination. Giving you added assurance the job was completed on time and accurately.
Hotshots
Hotshot shipments pertain exclusively to ground shipping and are expedited by nature. Simply put, STG’s ‘hotshot’ is no-nonsense shipping. This shipment option doesn’t stop for anything. Except for the occasional refueling, hotshot assignments are direct with no mid-connections or transfers along the way.
STG will load your cargo on a dedicated truck, assign the necessary amount of drivers, and outfit them with the appropriate attire required for delivery. Despite the straight-forward nature of ‘hotshots’, STG still makes available to you our premiere shipment visibility software so you can always track where your truck is.
Expedited
When demands are impatient and time lost is money lost. Let STG Expedited deliver results that will make you look like the hero. STG Expedited team facilitates a wide range of expedited services – from exclusive-use vehicles to premium airfreight services and yes even ocean freight can be expedited. Whether it’s simple documentation or shipments up to 40,000lbs, STG can expedite it all. Always having your time sensitive shipment there exactly when you need it.
Insurance
Current laws and tariff restrictions limit the liability of loss for carriers. Frequently, industry regulations only expect carriers to return as little as 1/3rd the value of lost or damaged cargo. In fact, most carriers are not held responsible for losses which are deemed ‘unforeseeable’ or ‘beyond their control’. And have fun defining those terms in court.
With STG’s “All-Risk Coverage”, we can cover the cost of your items at the value you would have sold them for. This fraction of an investment insures your products are covered in-full – dollar for dollar. Insuring you for profitability.
Airfreight
No matter your industry, immediacy is the starting point for today’s marketplace. So we understand, in business, some things just need to get there now (Or, more like, yesterday). Whether it’s in North America or across the globe, STG’s same day and next-day air shipping will put your mind at ease because you always have our extensive network within arm’s reach. Anywhere, anytime – STG can provide expedited freight to move your high-value items quickly without sacrificing on reliability or quality assurance.
Ocean
STG offers a broad network of forwarders/agents and ocean freight experience to provide you a full array of global freight and transportation services. We can handle almost any size shipment, from less-than- container loads to full container loads, special equipment, and oversized cargo. You can access a single source to manage your ocean freight services worldwide.
Crating
The worst scenario in our industry is when a shipment was delivered on-time, but damaged during transport. Which is why, for years now, we have gone beyond industry standards by offering extensive crating options in tandem with our transportation services. You can trust us to make sure all your products are crated properly for ground, air or ocean transport no matter the dimensions.
We can accommodate nearly any crating requirements. Whether your concern is size, shape, or a special request – we can handle it. Letting STG coordinate both, crating and transportation, ensures you will have a variety of appropriate shipping options available when you finally need to move. Including superior options such as on-site packing services, where we will travel to your facility, crate, and transport your cargo.
Warehousing
Unnecessary steps in any process means wasted time and manpower. And we don’t know any business that can afford to throw away such precious resources. At STG we can provide all your warehousing needs, long- and short-term, while seamlessly incorporating our superior transporting services whenever necessary. As such, all of our warehouses are strategically located to be readily accessible and closely collaborated with our transportation options. All of this, with the security of warehouse locations which are camera-monitored and secured 24/7.
Tradeshows
You’ve been planning. From experience, we know the time, materials, and dedication it requires to prepare for a tradeshow event. So the last thing you need to worry about is your tradeshow booth arriving to you damaged or worse – not at all.
At STG, we understand tradeshow requirements. We work with you to make sure your valuables get moving with time to spare. So you can spend more time demonstrating your value, not worrying.
Going on tour? STG can collaborate with you to establish tradeshow optimization practices to keep your cargo following you every step of the way and at the lowest possible cost.
Flatbed/Specialized
Finding a quality flatbed carrier should not be taken lightly. Too many times in our industry flatbed carriers try to cut corners where you can’t see them. This often results in careless damages, loss of cargo, or costly project delays. Not with STG. We are very meticulous and strict with the standards we expect from each of our partners, only working with the safest, most experienced, and reputable carriers in the industry. You can be sure all of STG’s services are of the highest quality and always readily accessible.
Dry Van/Enclosed Trailer
Not all cargo is created equal. Delicate and loose cargo requires special attention. STG’s dry van and enclosed trailer services gives you the customizable options to move your precious cargo the way you want to. In addition, STG provides you with the online resources to track and monitor your shipments. With thousands of our carriers moving across the country each day, we give you the visibility and piece-of-mind of knowing exactly where you cargo is at all times.
Partial Truckloads
Why pay full shipment prices, when STG offers carrier options which don’t require an entire truckload? If your load doesn’t demand a time sensitive delivery, STG’s partial truckload option can help save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Ask your STG truckload expert if this money saving option is right for you. We’d love to reduce your bottom line.
Expedited
You can fill all the orders you want. But what it all comes down to is – can you deliver? STG can. Our expedited services can deliver on the ground. While many competitors’ on-ground expedited services are bogged-down by single-driver regulations and restrictions. Our highly-facilitated driving teams collaborate to keep your shipment rolling every hour of the day, getting you to ‘Point B’ in the shortest amount of time.
Hazardous Material (truckload)
Hazardous material is exactly that, hazardous and dangerous. STG has carriers available with drivers that are extensively trained, certified, and insured specifically for handling hazardous cargo. We understand all the potential liabilities to transporting hazardous products. STG will provide the proper carrier and take the appropriate protocol to successfully move your materials safely and appropriately.
Dedicated/Regular Truckloads
Have a large project or trying to bid on one? Planning ahead pays dividends. STG can make sure you stay within your budget when it comes time for delivery. Instead of shelling out for on-the-spot market value, if you are anticipating regular or scheduled truckloads, we can evaluate your project requirements and provide a competitive price for reliable service. We have access to numerous large-size carriers across North America, all of which are specialized in moving projects which demand regularity and repetition.
Guaranteed On-time
To make a guarantee takes dedication. While most carriers boast high-percentages for on-time deliveries, delays do occur. With STG you get superior customer service and resources. One of which, is our ability to make available several levels of on-time ‘guaranteed’ services. Simply, ask your STG transportation expert for details on specifications and qualified locations. It’s a good decision - guaranteed.
International
Transporting across North American borders is a meticulous task with, potentially, lengthy delays. If proper preparation strategies are not taken into full account, you could find your shipment sitting idle for quite some time and with no way to move forward. We make sure this doesn’t happen, because we know delays cost money in addition to customer satisfaction. At STG, we make sure all of your shipping documents and freight qualifications are in order before encountering border protocols – for both Canada and Mexico.
Expedited
Deadlines don’t dictate the size of a shipment. When LTL transit times won’t get there fast enough ask about Expedited LTL. STG has local agents in all major metropolitan areas to assist in expediting your LTL shipment. In most areas, we offer Friday pick-ups and next-Monday delivery. That’s one business day- DELIVERED!! That’s STG expedited.
Expedited
Sometimes one shot is all you get. Which is why, on the ground, ‘hotshots’ are a superior option. No matter the size. Small box or large freight. Hotshots can deliver in- and out-of-state. In just one direct trip, your cargo arrives in the same truck and with the same driver(s) it was initially assigned to. No transfers. Just results.
Pickup Trucks
For small capacity shipments, don’t over complicate things. If it’s under 1500lbs and can fit in a standard pickup truck, then a truck is all you need. At that point, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more economical, expedited ground shipping option.
Cargo Vans
You have a small shipment, but the contents are too sensitive to entrust to an exposed pickup truck. This happens all the time. Which is why STG has cargo van shipping options. Able to handle between 1500lbs. to 3500lbs., vans are not only economical, they also provide dependable protection.
Stakebed Trucks
Stakebeds trucks are our base option for all you heavy lifters out there. Wherever you are going, STG can follow. With bed lengths stretching from 8’ to 20’, STG’s stakebed capacity is customizable to you. From 2000lbs. up to 9000lbs., stakebeds can surely pull their weight and then some.
Box Trucks
Box trucks are a great ‘catch all’ option. 24’ long, 90” wide and 96” high with a cargo capacity of 12,000lbs., box trucks are a workhorse of a fleet. Able to handle large or small shipments, box trucks usually come equipped with a liftgate. Which makes offloading large valuable pieces - like furniture or commercial products – as simple as pushing a button.
Gooseneck Trailers
STG likes gooseneck trailers because we understand that sometimes shipments are about more than just weight. Dimensions also factor in. Available in a variety of lengths, STG recommends gooseneck trailers for all your ‘high’ and ‘wide’ load cargo. With goosenecks, the sky is the limit. Actually the capacity is 15,000lbs., but you get the point.
Tractor
When you really need to pack on the mass, STG isn’t afraid to get physical. With tractors, STG can offer muscle and endurance. Ideal for lengthy trips and heavy hauls, STG’s hotshot tractor service can help you move up to 48,000lbs. While maintaining an expedited pace.
Local Delivery
Sometimes trans-Atlantic and cross-country deliveries aren’t what you need. Rather, local delivery services are just the ticket. The best part is – no matter where you reside, STG can be there. Because STG loves local. Especially, local deliveries. Even though the distance may be shorter, with us your cargo is still just as precious.
Truckloads/Partials
You can fill all the orders you want. But what it all comes down to is – can you deliver? STG can. Our expedited services can deliver on the ground. While many competitors’ on-ground expedited services are bogged-down by single-driver regulations and restrictions. Our highly-facilitated driving teams collaborate to keep your shipment rolling every hour of the day, getting you to ‘Point B’ in the shortest amount of time.
LTL
Deadlines don’t dictate the size of a shipment. When LTL transit times won’t get there fast enough ask about Expedited LTL. STG has local agents in all major metropolitan areas to assist in expediting your LTL shipment. In most areas, we offer Friday pick-ups and next-Monday delivery. That’s one business day- DELIVERED!! That’s STG expedited.
Hotshots
Sometimes one shot is all you get. Which is why, on the ground, ‘hotshots’ are a superior option. No matter the size. Small box or large freight. Hotshots can deliver in- and out-of-state. In just one direct trip, your cargo arrives in the same truck and with the same driver(s) it was initially assigned to. No transfers. Just results.
Airfreight
We have almost every form of airfreight transportation imaginable at our disposal. So when it comes to expediting through the air – if you need it there; we can get it there. From ‘next flight out’ requests to your standard run-of-the-mill ‘rush’ deliveries, STG can expedite it all.
Tradeshows
No one wants to be stuck needing to expedite an entire tradeshow. And we always recommend you appraise and strategize your tradeshow movement beforehand. But sometimes, stuff happens. Dates get shifted. This is why we offer for tradeshows the same reliable expedient options we make available for our standard services.
Insure ground shipments.
Did you know that LTL (less than truckload) carriers by law are only required to pay you from .50 cents to $20 per pound for a loss or damage? This could leave extreme short fall if this occurs. Most TL (truck load carriers) only carry $100K as their maximum cargo insurance. Not to mention both LTL and TL carrier will mitigate a claim or loss for the cost you paid your supplier for the goods. Not the amount you sold it for.
Insure airfreight shipments
Airlines by law are only required to pay to a maximum of $9.00 per pound for a loss or damage. In most cases this will leave you at a severe loss financially if a claim should occur. Airlines will also ask you to mitigate the claim to your suppliers cost for replacement not to mention the time it takes them to settle a claim. You could be out the replacement cost for months on end.
Insure ocean shipment
Were you aware that by law ocean carriers are the ones that are more protected than the shipper is? An ocean line is only required to pay out a maximum of $400 per container if a loss or damage should occur. Fires, ships being hijacked, water damage from compromised containers and losing their containers into the sea because of storms are becoming more common than the ocean carriers would like you to know. Don’t leave yourself at risk.
Same Day: ‘next Flight Out’ (NFO)
STG is connected with NFO special agent locations spanning across the United States. From any point of origin to any destination, STG can facilitate the same day delivery of your time critical package. STG provides online visibility of your NFO package every step of the way, giving you peace of mind that your urgent delivery will reach its destination on time and intact.
overnight: A.M./P.M. Options
If you need your shipment picked up and delivered the following day we can make it happen. STG can arrange for your small package or large freight shipment to deliver to your specifications either first thing in the morning or by the end of the next business day.
Export / Import
All those headaches and hurdles you despise about shipping overseas – STG takes care of those. Through customs clearance, documentation, and everything in-between, STG facilitates export and import shipments without wasting any of your time and money.
Expedited
We have almost every form of airfreight transportation imaginable at our disposal. So when it comes to expediting through the air – if you need it there; we can get it there. From ‘next flight out’ requests to your standard run-of-the-mill ‘rush’ deliveries, STG can expedite it all.
LCL (less-than-Containerload)
When you don't have enough cargo for a full container, STG can arrange less-than-container load (LCL) departures between major ports. Coupled with our robust shipment tracking software, you can manage every step and maintain visibility throughout the entire process.
FCL (full Container Load)
STG has the carrier relationships to offer frequent departures at competitive rates for FCL shipments from major ports around the world. With our network of experience, STG can keep you moving across all seven seas even during peak shipping seasons.
Containerization
STG offers containerization for 20’ – 40’ ocean containers. So, what does containerization mean? It means strategizing and loading containers to ensure ideal weight distribution. It means paying attention to each item in transit by properly blocking and bracing all in-container cargo. It means placing a priority to minimize in-transit shifting. It means STG and its partners got your ocean shipments covered.
Crating/Packing
STG offers several packaging and containerization options in order to ensure that each piece is crated to withstand the most difficult parts of the journey. Our crating services include lagging of cable reels, cradles and saddles, and shipping skids with tie downs, as well as open frame, plywood, or reusable crates. We can also provide heavy duty wooden modular crates and boxes.
Vacuum Packing
Also known as vapor packing or barrier bag packing, this crating method purposefully creates a water-vapor-proof enclosure. Clearly ideal for storing water-sensitive materials, but also very effective for long-term storage purposes. Vacuum packing is available for all methods of transportation – ground, air, and ocean.
Industrial Shrink Wrapping
Shrink wrapping is not just for kitchens. A very formidable and flexible packing method, this polyethylene plastic tightly shrinks and becomes more durable when heated. Once contoured to the cargo, shrink wrap provides solid protection from moisture and debris. When installed correctly, shrink wrap is even capable of effectively sealing large or more cumbersome objects.
Hazardous Materials (crating)
Crating dangerous material requires extreme precaution and considerable knowledge. STG can make sure all aspects of handling your hazardous materials are performed properly. Safety and health are always our first priority. From certification, documentation, and packaging to marking and labeling – STG has all the resources you need to assemble an expert-class Haz-Mat team to mobilize your high-risk cargo.
Export
Just because you’re exporting to a country that’s foreign doesn’t mean shipping needs to be. STG makes sure all exports are sent ISPM 15 compliant. If requested, we can have letters of certification accompany all shipments. Don’t risk your cargo getting caught in overseas customs or worse, returned on your own dime. Go STG and worry less.
Storage
When touring season is over, don’t settle for stowing away your tradeshow booth just anywhere. The same highly-trained STG team that totes your tradeshow booth around can also assist you with storage. Whether between shows or between tours, STG has facilities for both long- and short-term storage durations.
Airfreight
Airfreight Tradeshow transportation is custom by nature. So if you need specialty air travel for your tradeshow booth, STG can help. We collaborate with you to make sure we account for all in- transport variables, allowing us to execute custom airfreight shipping arrangements just for you
Ground
When touring by ground, your tradeshow can spend more time travelling than it does fully set-up. So if your booth is going to spend most of its time stored and moving, shouldn’t storage and transportation be of the utmost priority? STG keeps the logistics of your tradeshow up to par with your expectations.
Expedited
No one wants to be stuck needing to expedite an entire tradeshow. And we always recommend you appraise and strategize your tradeshow movement beforehand. But sometimes, stuff happens. Dates get shifted. This is why we offer for tradeshows the same reliable expedient options we make available for our standard services.
