Less Than Truckload (LTL) Freight

Consolidate your cargo and optimize logistics spending. Pay only for the trailer space you occupy, backed by reliable transit schedules.

Consolidated Cost Savings

Why Choose Less Than Truckload (LTL)?

Less Than Truckload (LTL) is the ideal transportation mode when your shipment consists of 1 to 6 pallets, weights less than 15,000 lbs, and does not require an exclusive 53-foot trailer.

By combining your cargo with shipments from other businesses moving in the same lane, we maximize trailer space utilization. This allows you to split linehaul costs, significantly lowering your transport spending while maintaining access to premium carrier tracking.

Cost-effective: pay only for the exact linear feet used
Accessorial options: liftgates, inside delivery, and residential pickups
Consolidated regional hubs streamlining major city deliveries

How are LTL shipping rates determined?

LTL rates are calculated based on weight, dimensions (linear feet/pallets), destination lane distance, and NMFC freight class (determined by density, stowability, handling ease, and liability).

Do I need to secure or wrap LTL freight?

Yes. Because LTL freight is sorted and transloaded at regional terminals, all cargo must be securely stacked, banded, or shrink-wrapped on standard wooden or plastic pallets to prevent shift and damage.

What is a liftgate service, and when do I need one?

A liftgate is a hydraulic platform on the back of a box truck or trailer that lowers cargo to the ground. You need one if your shipping origin or destination lacks a standard loading dock or forklift (e.g., residential delivery, retail stores).
