What is Less Than Truckload (LTL)?
Do you have goods that need shipping NOW, but not enough to fill an entire truck. Less Than Truckload (LTL) services offer the ability to reserve a portion of freight occupying part of a trailer. Doing so allows you to gain the benefits of expedient shipping without the high costs of allocating a whole truckload. Instead, we combine multiple client loads into one trailer, with each client only paying for the space they need.
When is Less Than Truckload (LTL) the Better Option?
Generally speaking, if your freight is less than 15,000lbs and less than around 6 skids in size, LTL may be the better option. Similarly, LTL is ideal when your shipping freight is too large for a parcel carrier such as UPS, but not large enough to warrant paying for ‘full truckload’ services.

Benefits of LTL
Choosing to go with an LTL service offers a multitude of benefits, but the primary driver for choosing this option is cost. With fuel prices and logistical challenges on the rise, finding cost-effective and efficient ways to ship goods and materials is paramount to remaining competitive and streamlining operations.
LTL shipping also requires the use of pallets, adding to transport security and stability, and reducing the chances of any damage in transit.
