What is FTL Shipping?
FTL shipping, short for Full Truckload, is a freight shipping method where your goods occupy an entire truck. Unlike Less Than Truckload (LTL) shipping, where multiple shippers share space in a single truck, FTL shipping gives you exclusive use of the entire trailer. This means your shipment travels directly from point A to point B without any stops or transfers along the way.
Benefits of Full Truckload Services:
Efficiency: With FTL shipping, your goods are loaded once and unloaded once, minimizing handling and reducing the risk of damage.
Speed: Direct point-to-point delivery means faster transit times, getting your products to their destination quicker.
Security: Your shipment is the only cargo on the truck, reducing the risk of loss or mix-ups.
Cost-effectiveness: For large shipments, FTL can be more economical than multiple LTL shipments.
Flexibility: You have more control over pickup and delivery times, allowing for better planning and coordination.
