Daylight Transport – BOL

PostedMay 14, 2021

UpdatedJuly 12, 2021

Daylight Transport is used for most SuperCloset freight orders across the US with the exception of the West. For SuperCloset freight orders to the West, please see the articles for Old Dominion – BOL. For all other freight orders compare GlobalTranz – BOL quotes to find the best price. For all Daylight shipments, please quote using Class 92 as Daylight changes all freight shipments to this classification.

Please note the following:

Do not use Daylight Transport if the order is 3-4 pallets, instead use GlobalTranz for a better rate.
Inform Daylight if you are shipping more than 10 pallets in one day to ensure there is enough room on the truck.
