What Is: LTL Shipping?
Less Than Truckload (LTL) shipping is a cost-effective and efficient method for transporting smaller shipments that do not require the use of an entire truck. This approach consolidates multiple smaller shipments from different customers into a single truck, maximizing space utilization and minimizing costs for each shipment.
LTL shipping is particularly beneficial for small and medium-sized businesses that do not have enough freight to fill a whole truck or require shipments to multiple destinations. It offers competitive pricing compared to full truckload shipping and provides flexibility in scheduling pickups and deliveries.
