LESS-THAN-TRUCKLOAD (LTL) FREIGHT

WHAT IS LESS-THAN-TRUCKLOAD
(LTL) FREIGHT?

LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight is a shipping method that combines multiple smaller shipments from different customers into one truck. This service is ideal for shipments that don’t require the full capacity of a trailer, typically ranging from 150 to 15,000 pounds. Instead of paying for an entire truck, businesses share transportation costs with other shippers, making LTL an affordable and efficient solution for smaller loads that don’t need the full truckload capacity.

LTL shipping allows businesses to transport goods without the expense of unused space, while also ensuring timely and safe deliveries for smaller or partial shipments. By sharing the truck’s space, LTL freight offers businesses the flexibility of shipping smaller amounts of goods at a fraction of the cost of full-truckload options.

BENEFITS OF LTL FREIGHT

COST
SAVINGS

By only paying for the portion of the truck you use, LTL is more affordable than full-truckload shipping for smaller shipments.

ACCESS TO SPECIALIZED SERVICES

LTL carriers often provide additional services like liftgate delivery, inside delivery, and guaranteed delivery times.

TRACKING
AND SECUIRTY

Enhanced tracking systems provide visibility, and multiple handling points ensure secure shipment management.

FLEXIBILITY IN
SCHEDULING

LTL allows for more flexible scheduling, accommodating varying pick-up and delivery times for your convenience.

WHEN IS LTL FREIGHT IDEAL?

LTL freight is a great choice for various shipping needs, especially when:

  • Your Shipment is Too Large for Parcel Delivery but Too Small for a Full Truckload: If your goods are too bulky for standard parcel services but don’t require the capacity of an entire truck, LTL is the ideal middle ground.

  • Cost-Effectiveness is a Priority: LTL allows you to share the costs of transportation with other shippers, reducing your shipping expenses compared to booking a full truck for smaller shipments.

  • You Have Flexible Delivery Timelines: Since LTL shipments are typically consolidated with other freight, they may involve additional stops and handling. LTL is perfect if you don’t have urgent delivery deadlines and can accommodate a slightly longer transit time.

  • You Need Shipment Tracking: Most LTL carriers provide detailed tracking and shipment updates, allowing you to monitor your goods throughout the entire shipping process. This is particularly beneficial for businesses that require transparency and visibility of their shipments.
