FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Less Than Truckload (LTL) shipping?

LTL shipping refers to transporting relatively small freight shipments that do not require a full truckload. Multiple shippers share space on the same truck, paying only for the portion of the truck they use. This method is cost-effective and ideal for shipments that are larger than parcel deliveries but smaller than what would fill an entire truck.

How does LTL shipping work?

LTL shipping involves consolidating multiple smaller shipments into a single truckload. The carrier collects shipments from various customers, consolidates them at a distribution center, and then delivers them to their respective destinations. This process helps optimize space and reduces shipping costs for each shipper​.

What are the benefits of LTL shipping?
  • Cost Savings: Shippers only pay for the space their freight occupies, making it more economical.
  • Flexibility: LTL shipping allows for smaller quantities to be shipped without needing a full truckload.
  • Environmental Impact: Consolidating shipments reduces the number of trucks on the road, lowering emissions.
  • Access to a Broad Carrier Network: Provides better coverage and more shipping options​.
How should I prepare my LTL shipment?

Proper packaging is crucial to avoid damage. Ensure your shipment is securely packed, palletized, and labeled. Use quality packing materials to cushion and protect the freight, distribute the weight evenly, and shrink-wrap the load tightly. Accurate labeling is essential for tracking and handling​.

Can I track my LTL shipment?

Yes, we provide online tracking services that allow you to monitor the status and location of your LTL shipment in real-time. You can typically track your shipment using the tracking number provided by the carrier​.
