Your truckload service options
Which truckload shipping option is right for you?
Truckload shipping refers to moving freight of all kinds via truck. For full truckload, that means the trailer is full of one shipper's products. Less than truckload conversely, involves combining smaller loads from multiple shippers onto one trailer. FTL vs. LTL likely comes down to how much freight you're moving, whether it's:
Dry Van
Refrigerated (Reefer)
Flatbed
Full truckload shipping
Full truckload freight typically involves loading a 53 foot semi trailer at a warehouse, distribution center or from a transloaded container. A single truck driver is then responsible for transporting the load over the road from origin to destination, where the shipper unloads it.
Less than truckload shipping
Less than truckload (LTL) shipping uses the same type of equipment, but involves sharing space. An LTL shipment involves freight consolidation, in which the carrier consolidates freight from multiple shippers into one 53’ trailer. At a destination cross-docking facility, the freight is separated and staged for final-mile delivery.
