Small Businesses Win Big with Smart Shipping All Year Long
novembre 20, 2025
At Freightquote® by C.H. Robinson, Small Business Saturday is more than a moment, it’s a mindset.
From managing inventory to marketing and customer service, small business owners wear a lot of hats. Shipping shouldn’t be another headache. That’s why Freightquote® is built to simplify freight shipping, allowing you to focus on growing your business, not chasing down tracking numbers or deciphering carrier fees.
Smarter shipping starts with smarter quoting
One of the biggest pain points in shipping? Unexpected fees. That’s why Freightquote has enhanced the quoting experience with the integration of Shiplify. You can now get quotes using full origin and destination addresses, which helps identify necessary accessorials like residential delivery or liftgate service, right at the quoting stage.
And because carriers themselves use Shiplify to classify addresses, Freightquote’s integration of the same system ensures alignment from the start, helping you avoid unexpected accessorial charges and costly carrier adjustment fees. This level of clarity up front minimizes errors and keeps your shipping costs predictable, making a small change that could deliver big savings.
Tech that works as hard as you do
Designed with small businesses in mind, Freightquote’s platform leverages exclusive Agentic Supply Chain tools that go beyond basic automation. These tools help with:
- Proactive issue resolution to reduce shipping disruptions
- Real-time updates so you’re never in the dark
- Self-service features for uploading documents, tracking shipments, and managing billing—all in one place
Whether you’re shipping once a month or every day, our tech keeps things running smoothly so you can stay focused on your customers.
Big savings, bigger impact
Freightquote connects you to a vast network of carriers, offering competitive rates—up to 90% off carrier direct pricing. That means more money in your pocket and more flexibility to grow your business.
And with Freightquote Rewards, a free loyalty program, you earn discounts on future shipments just for shipping. It’s a simple, automatic way to save even more without adding extra steps or complexity to your shipping process.
Built for business owners, backed by experts
Behind the scenes, Freightquote’s team of logistics experts is always working to make your shipping experience better. From helping you navigate complex shipments to offering guidance on best practices, help is here when you need it, and invisible when you don’t.
Need help choosing the right carrier? The Freightquote platform provides side-by-side comparisons of transit times, pricing, and service levels so you can make informed decisions quickly. You can also save and manage multiple quotes, making it easy to plan ahead or revisit options when you're ready to ship. During peak seasons like the holidays, Freightquote’s large carrier network has the capacity to cover all your shipments, helping you avoid delays and keep your business running smoothly.

Whether you're shipping less-than-truckload (LTL), full truckload, or small parcel, Freightquote offers flexible solutions that scale with your business. You can:
- Schedule pickups and deliveries that fit your timeline
- Access a wide range of carriers and service types
