What is Less than Truckload Shipping (LTL)?

LTL is a type of ground freight transportation that combines shipments from multiple customers. Businesses choose this budget-friendly option when the consumer demand for their products is average or stable.

Less than truckload shipping is affordable for small business because you share the transportation costs with other companies, Each company takes up a portion of the truck for their goods and only pays according to the amount of product shipped and the length of travel.

LTL shipments often make several stops and unpack and re-pack goods. The shipment will take longer to reach the destination but you’ll save on shipping costs. An experienced transportation logistics company will work hard to save you money by matching your shipments with regular scheduled shipments heading to the same destination.

Advantages of LTL:

1. Cost effective freight transportation
2. Ideal for small businesses
