FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
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.
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​.
- 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.
