Less Than Truckload (LTL)

We Take the Headache Out of LTL Freight Shipping Which Can Be Tailored To Your Unique Needs

LTL allows for multiple different shipments to be consolidated onto one truck, making it a more cost-effective and efficient option for both shippers and carriers. 

While there may be longer transit times compared to other forms of transportation options, LTL offers flexibility with pickup and delivery dates and make it easy to track your shipment along the way.

Less than truckload (LTL) is often the best option for smaller shipments or when a full trailer isn't needed. Generally, LTL is best suited for freight shipments between 150 and 15,000 pounds.  An LTL shipment should generally contain no more than 10 pallets and maximum 12 linear feet. Any shipment weighing more than 15,000 pounds can be shipped as a Full Truckload (FTL) shipment.
