Why parcelized freight matters in San Diego
Traditional LTL freight often assumes pallets, docks, and freight terminals. TrunkMoves is engineered to containerize personal shipments so they can move like parcels where eligible—helping reduce terminal touchpoints and improving predictability for residential origins.
Kübox crates and protective packing
Kübox crate systems are designed to standardize packing and handling. Instead of loose boxes that shift during sorting and transport, containerized loads help reduce damage risk and make pickup and delivery simpler.
