Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) Shipping
LTL shipping allows multiple shippers to share space on the same truck. This is an effective solution for shippers who have small skid orders and for those who do not want to pay for a full truck for their freight.
However, determining LTL freight rates is slightly more intricate than other modes. LTL freight quotes are determined by factors such as dimensional weight, freight class, distance, and negotiated volume breaks.
When to Use This Mode:
Shipments that are too big for parcel, but too small to fill an entire truck
1-8 pallet orders
Orders less than 12,000 pounds
