What is LTL (Less-than-truckload) Freight?
LTL freight shipping is a transportation method when your freight takes only a part of carrier’s trailer. LTL, or less-than-truckload, is a reliable and cost-efficient solution for shippers who have small amounts of goods. It is more flexible than full truckload and offers many benefits to individual shippers and small businesses.
Also, LTL shipping is for multiple shippers to share truck space. This means that it’s the most cost-efficient way to ship your larger-than-parcels items without the cost of a full trailer. The remaining space is filled by other companies, each only having to pay for a portion of the trailer being used.

HOW MUCH DOES LTL FREIGHT COST TO SHIP?
Your LTL Shipping Quote vary based on the freight class and a variety of other factors. Freight class is determined by the density, freight stow-ability, ease of handling, and liability of an LTL shipment.

- Travel distance: Rates increase the further the commercial freight needs to be delivered, the carrier’s primary region, and if a second carrier needs to be brought in.
- Fuel surcharge: Rates are calculated using several factors: gas prices changing, type of fuel, MPG, distance, and shipment cost.
- Shipment specs: This includes the freight’s weight and dimensions.
- Type of freight: The type of freight has an impact on the price. For example, shipping an engine versus a pallet of bricks.
- Location Type: LTL freight not being shipped dock to dock will be more expensive. For example, shipping to a trade show or to a military base would
