Less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping is when your freight only needs a portion of the truck space. On the other hand, full truckload (FTL) shipping is when your load fills the truck. LTL trucking is perfect for small and medium-sized cargo that doesn’t require specialized care, and it is a cost-effective option. Our team recommends FTL trucking for larger shipments or fragile, temperature-sensitive freight.
