Since LTL (less than truckload) loads are relatively small, you might think about adding an LTL load with another load if it’s appropriate. You can also haul more than one LTL—whatever you have room for—at a time. And then there’s the issue of deadheading. In some cases, an LTL might make up for an unavoidable deadhead, so your profit-per-mile doesn’t take a hit.
