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.
