Understanding Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) Shipping

Introduction to LTL Shipping:

Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) shipping is a cost-effective and efficient method for transporting smaller freight that doesn’t require a full truckload. This shipping method consolidates multiple shipments from different customers into one truck, optimizing space and reducing costs.

Key Benefits of LTL Shipping:

Cost Efficiency: Pay only for the portion of the truck space you use, making it more economical than full truckload shipping.
Flexibility: Ideal for businesses of all sizes with varied shipping needs.
Environmentally Friendly: Consolidating shipments reduces the number of trucks on the road, lowering carbon emissions.
