Are freight shipping transit times guaranteed?

Freight shipping transit times are guaranteed only if noted on the bill of lading. For freight rate purposes, if a freight shipping transit time needs to be guaranteed it should be mentioned at the time of the freight quote or freight rate. Getting a freight quote or freight rate which includes a guarantee for the freight shipping transit time, does not mean a shipment will travel as a guaranteed shipment. Only if guaranteed delivery is noted on the bill of lading will a shipment be recognized as a guaranteed shipment.All other transit times are reliable, but not guaranteed. If a shipment is not noted guaranteed on the bill of lading and arrives outside the transit time specified, the freight bill will be reflected to match the transit time which was received. Transit times do not include the day of pickup and are counted by business days.
