Bulk Freight Solutions for Shippers

Three ways to work with PTC — a single load, a recurring program, or a formal bid. Each one starts with a person reading your details.

Which inquiry fits your volume

Spot freight

One movement, near-term. Product, lane and date are usually enough to start.

Request a quote

Recurring lanes

The same movement repeating. The conversation is about the pattern, not the next load.

Dedicated and recurring

Bid invitations

An RFQ, RFP or routing guide with a deadline and a defined scope.

Invite PTC to bid

How an inquiry moves forward

PTC connects shippers with carriers equipped for their product and lane, with personal coordination from inquiry through planning.

  1. You send the details you have, through the form, by email or by phone.
  2. A coordinator reads it and comes back with any clarifying questions.
  3. We review equipment, carrier fit and the operating area for your lane.
  4. We tell you what we can coordinate — or tell you plainly if we cannot.
  5. Nothing is placed until you approve it.

What we typically need

Services shippers ask us about

  • Liquid bulk transportation

    Tank-trailer movements for liquid products, coordinated load by load or as an ongoing program.

  • Food-grade transportation

    Edible bulk liquids where wash history, prior product and handling rules have to be agreed up front.

  • Chemical transportation

    Bulk chemical and industrial liquids, where product compatibility drives the equipment decision.

  • Hazmat coordination

    Regulated bulk shipments reviewed before placement so carrier, equipment and paperwork match the material.

  • Dedicated & recurring

    Repeating movements and dedicated arrangements planned around your schedule.

  • Pressure bulk / MC-331

    Pressure-product inquiries where vessel specification, authority and handling requirements drive carrier fit.

  • Cryogenic transportation

    Cryogenic liquids where product-specific equipment, temperature, pressure and facility fit must be confirmed.

  • Liquid fertilizer transportation

    Liquid fertilizer and agricultural bulk movements shaped by product, season, equipment and facility access.

  • Dry bulk / pneumatic

    Dry commodities where trailer configuration, cleanliness, unloading method and facility fit matter.

Shipper questions

Do I need an account to request a quote?
No. There is no login. Send the details through the quote form, by email or by phone.
How quickly will someone respond?
A coordinator reviews each inquiry and replies directly. We do not publish a guaranteed response time because we would rather meet the commitment we make to you in conversation.
Can PTC handle a formal procurement process?
Yes. Send the opportunity through the bid invitation page with its scope and deadline so it can be worked as a procurement exercise.
Does PTC own trucks?
No. PTC coordinates freight through an established carrier network.
