What is Less-Than-Truckload Freight?
LTL freight shipping is a transportation method when your shipment takes only a part of the carrier’s trailer. Your freight is stacked into pallets, crates, large boxes, and is combined with shipments from other businesses into a single trailer. This makes LTL, or less-than-truckload, a reliable and cost-efficient solution for shippers and businesses who have small amounts of goods. It is more flexible than full truckload and offers many benefits to individual shippers and small businesses.

Truckload freight rates can vary not just because of the weight, but also because of spikes in seasonal capacity demand and volatile fuel prices. It’s important to know that the more time you give a shipping company or the carrier to provide a freight rate, the lower it will be.
