LTL (LESS-THAN-TRUCKLOAD) SHIPPING
LTL shipping is a method used when a single shipper doesn't have enough freight to fill an entire truck. Instead, multiple shippers' freight is consolidated and transported together in the same truck.
Key Features
Cost-effective: Cheaper than FTL (Full Truckload) since the cost is shared among multiple shippers.
Space-sharing: Truck space and shipping costs are divided among various shippers.
Typical weight range: 150 to 10,000 pounds (approximately 68 to 4,500 kg).
