Less Than Truckload (LTL) shipping is a logistics service that involves the transportation of goods that do not require a full truckload. LTL is ideal for businesses that need to ship smaller quantities of goods, typically ranging from a few pallets to several thousand pounds, without needing to pay for the entire truck.
Multiple shipments from different businesses are combined in a single truck, allowing shippers to only pay for the portion of the truck space they use. This makes LTL shipping more cost-effective compared to Full Truckload (FTL) shipping for smaller shipments. LTL carriers consolidate shipments from various customers into one truck, optimizing space and reducing the cost for each shipper.
LTL carriers usually offer regular pickup and delivery schedules, making it convenient for businesses to plan their shipping needs. LTL shipping generally takes longer than FTL because of the multiple stops and handling involved, but it provides a reliable and predictable schedule for non-urgent deliveries.
LTL shipping allows businesses to avoid the expense of paying for a full truckload when they don’t need it.
LTL services are widely available and accessible, making them suitable for businesses of all sizes, from small startups to large enterprises.
Businesses can ship smaller quantities more frequently, which helps in maintaining lower inventory levels and responding quickly to market demand.
LTL shipping is a versatile and cost-effective option for businesses that need to move smaller quantities of goods efficiently. Whether you're looking to reduce shipping costs, improve supply chain flexibility, or ship to multiple locations, LTL services can be a valuable part of your logistics strategy.
