Affordable and Flexible LTL Shipping Solutions | Call 844-382-5068
LTL freight, also known as less than truckload shipping, is the most affordable way to move smaller shipments that do not require a full truck. Instead of paying for an entire trailer, your freight shares space with other shipments moving in the same direction. We provide:
- Access to more than 15 LTL carriers for competitive pricing
- Multiple service levels and transit options
- Reliable regional and nationwide coverage
- Flexible pricing based on size, weight, and distance
Because we work with a wide network of carriers, we are able to offer a range of pricing options and transit times, giving you control over cost and delivery expectations.
How LTL Freight Works
LTL freight shipments move through a network of terminals before reaching their final destination. This makes the service cost effective, but also means:
- Pickup and delivery typically occur Monday through Friday
- Delivery times are estimated, not guaranteed
- Pickup times are not scheduled, but occur within standard service windows
- Freight is handled at multiple terminals during transit
For this reason, LTL is best suited for shipments that are not urgent but still require reliable delivery.
What We Need to Book Your LTL Shipment
To ensure accurate pricing and smooth service, we will need the following details:
- Dimensions of the freight
- Total weight
- How the freight is packaged such as palletized, crated or in corrugated box(es)
- Freight value for insurance purposes
- Whether liftgate service is required at pickup or delivery
It is important to note that freight cannot be loose. All items must be properly packaged to withstand handling through the LTL network.
