Louisiana is located in the Deep South and South Central regions of the United States. Its unique French heritage has influenced political subdivisions to be read as parishes, not counties, unlike the other states. Many industries across these parishes support Louisiana's economy, leading to a steady increase in the gross state product. Finally, the Port of South Louisiana greatly influences and supports the freight shipping needs here.

4. Transport the Freight: When the team arrives at the pick-up location, they must inspect your load and fill out a bill of lading form. They then load your shipment using the selected mode of transport before heading for the final location provided. The expert assigned to your shipment is always a call or text away to address any issues.
5. Delivery and Receipt: Upon arrival at the destination, the freight will be unloaded and delivered to the recipient or designated warehouse.
