If the trip takes longer to load and unload than travel, we considered that local. Equal to load times was intercity, making the point that cities were about 100 miles apart here on the left coast. Everything left was longhaul/OTR for lack of a better classification.

EXCEPT for a couple customers who were in next over city and bought full truckloads, sizing was by distance and how much they bought. We would turn it over to a forwarder to amalgamate if it took about 15-20 feet and load whatever truck hit the dock. Since the customer paid for the transit, they were cost conscious and hardly ever used fredx/dhl/ups expedited.
