Prospective pricing for packages gives pickup to purchasers and truckers

For Immediate Release

PENDLETON, Ore./EWORLDWIRE/Dec. 5, 2008 --- Customers and businesses looking for a cost-effective shipping alternative to meet their shipping needs increasingly turn to NeedToShip.com ('http://www.NeedToShip.com'), where they can list those shipping needs for carriers to bid on.

According to Founder Penny Walker, "Need To Ship is ideal for all loads whose weight and size makes shipping costs expensive - from cars and furniture, to RVs, complete household moves and auction purchases such as those on auction sites such as at eBay and TheNickelAuction.com. Fluctuations in fuel prices and uncertainties in the global economy contribute to the price of transporting goods, and consequently, the price of doing business is impacted by higher rates.

"Large freight carriers charge high shipping fees because their fuel and mileage is the same whether a load is half-full or fully loaded. NeedToShip.com lowers shipping rates and provides increased revenue for carriers as freight carriers look to maximize their loads and minimize overall fuel costs."

NeedToShip works by providing customers with a one-stop forum where they can list their shipping needs for a variety of freight carriers - ranging from local to interstate companies looking for additional business along their routes. Trucking information is added on a daily business on a daily basis.

By promoting competition among bidders, NeedToShip takes aim at a sizeable cost of doing business. Customers and many online businesses - especially those that are auction-based - benefit from a wider range of shipping alternatives.

Carriers of all sizes gain widespread opportunities to pick up additional loads for their trucks, keeping their trucks and trailers full and maximizing their profits.

NeedToShip is designed so that all details of the delivery - from payment to pickup - can be arranged within the site. Features such as a feedback system where clients can review the history of potential carriers or rate winning bidders ensures high service quality and customer satisfaction. Other research tools incorporated into NeedToShip.com are a credentials system, where clients can review the certifications, licenses, and insurance of potential carriers.

Among additional resources are links to MapQuest, weather information, business and travel resources.
