What is FTL/LTL?
Less-than-truckload shipping, also known as less than load or LTL shipping, is a crucial aspect of logistics. It refers to the transportation of freight that falls between individual parcels and full truckloads in terms of size and volume.
This mode of shipping is particularly useful for businesses that need to transport goods that are larger than small packages but not enough to fill an entire trailer.
When it comes to handling small packages and freight that can be broken down into units weighing less than approximately 150 pounds, parcel carriers are the go-to option.
