LTL Shipping -
Less Than Truckload

LTL (Less Than Truckload) shipping is a freight transportation option for shipments that are too large for parcel delivery but don’t require an entire truckload. Instead of using a full trailer for a single customer, LTL shipments consolidate multiple smaller shipments from various clients into one truck. This allows multiple businesses to share space and costs, making it an efficient and cost-effective shipping method.
