LTL Freight SHIPPING

LTL is an acronym for less than truckload. The term LTL freight shipping generally refers to freight that requires less space to ship than a full truckload. Shippers who use LTL freight shipping typically ship freight that does not exceed 8ft of linear space or 10000 pounds. LTL carriers are extremely proficient in shipping and delivering LTL freight using their network of terminals.

FULL TRUCKLOAD SHIPPING

Full truckload shipping or FTL simply indicates the dedicated use of an entire tractor trailer. Full truckload shipping is commonly used by wholesalers and retailers alike. Shipping freight as a full truckload is the fastest and often the best method of shipping freight. Generally, full truckload shipping allows shippers to ship up to 44000 pounds in a single shipment.

TRANSLOAD SHIPPING

Transload shipping involves two or combinations of transport. A common combination is the over the road and rail combination. Other combinations include sea to over the road transport. At the close of 2017, estimates show a little over 1.3 million domestic truckload intermodal shipments.
