Full Truckload Shipping (FTL) is a popular transportation method designed for shipments that require the use of an entire trailer or container. Unlike Less-than-Truckload (LTL) shipping, which combines multiple shippers' goods into one trailer, FTL shipping dedicates the full trailer space to one shipper’s goods. This exclusive use of space makes FTL ideal for businesses needing to transport significant volumes, typically over 10,000 pounds.
What Makes FTL Shipping a Smart Choice?
FTL shipping offers key advantages for large shipments:
Faster Transit Times: With FTL, shipments travel directly from origin to destination without additional stops or transfers, meaning faster delivery times.
Enhanced Security: Because your goods don’t share space with other shipments, there’s reduced risk of damage or loss due to handling or transfer.
Greater Flexibility: FTL shipping allows for flexible scheduling, with the option to select specific pick-up and delivery times to meet business needs.
Cost-Effectiveness for Large Shipments: For heavy shipments, FTL can be more economical, as there are fewer handling and transfer points, reducing potential costs linked to damage or loss.
Minimized Risk: With no need to share trailer space, the risk of damage, misplacement, or theft decreases, providing added peace of mind.
