Quick & Easy Online Freight Quotes

On October 1 we released our new website, which features instant online LTL freight quotes. You can instantly rate an LTL load from within your web browser in just seconds. Add on a few accessorial services to your quote and you’ve got the makings of a nifty little tool.

Take a brief tour and see how easy it is. Download the tour in PDF (900 KB).

Get a Free Pizza!

“Show me a man who doesn’t like pizza and I’ll show you a liar.”
-- Famous Pizza Philosopher

Such universal truths ring true in our office. That’s why we’re offering a free Pizza Hut pizza coupon to each company that we can’t help save at least 10% on their current freight costs with another shipper. Read up on the 10% challenge and see if we can help you save.

Meet the MPG Team

Well, we broke the camera trying to take these shots, but it’s not because we’re ugly – it’s because someone dropped it in the Pizza Hut dipping sauce (did someone say free pizza?)! We thought you’d enjoy putting a face to the voices behind the phone. Here we are in no particular order:

Adam Clark - Office Manager

Lynn Mullins - LTL Freight Specialist
