LTL or less-than-truckload is a form of shipping where businesses that do not have enough goods to fill an entire truck (FTL) or even a part truck (PTL) can ship their goods economically by sharing truck space with other businesses. It’s a cost-effective option of transportation, though it takes longer delivery time and there are higher risks of damage during loading-unloading. (Read more on PTL vs FLT vs LTL)
