FTL (full truckload) shipping means your shipment gets an entire truck trailer all to itself - usually a 53 foot dry van or a flatbed, possibly even a refrigerated trailer. Not like LTL where space is shared with other shipments, FTL means you've got the whole truck from pick up to delivery all to yourself - no sharing, no terminal stops, no unnecessary handling.
FTL is the way to go when you've got at least 10 pallets, or 10,000 + pounds, or enough freight to fill most of a trailer. Its the fastest shipping method and most secure too because your cargo never leaves the truck - no terminals to stop at, no transfers to make, no messing around.
- Dedicated truck, straight to the destination - no messing about
- No sharing the space with other shipments - right from pick up to delivery.
- Fastest transit times
- Typically 1-3 days faster than LTL for the same route.
- The lower risk of damage
- Your freight stays safe and sound with minimal handling.
