What is LTL?

LTL is short for less-than-truckload. It’s one of the most efficient ways to ship your freight and it offers a great value. Typically, LTL shipments contain more than 1 pallet but less than a truckload. LTL shipments can be transported using major conglomerate carriers or smaller, regional carriers.

When to use LTL?

If you require freight services because your cargo exceeds parcel limits, or parcel prices are too high, LTL shipping is a great choice. You will need to have your cargo palletized and protected. In most cases, larger carriers handle your freight more often, between hubs, whereas smaller carriers handle your freight less frequently as they have less hubs and more direct, regional routes.
