Less-Than-Truckload (LTL)

Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) is a shipping and logistics term used to describe shipments that do not require the use of a full truckload or trailer to transport goods from origin to destination. LTL shipments are typically smaller in size or weight and are consolidated with other shipments from multiple customers to maximize truck capacity and efficiency. LTL carriers specialize in handling partial loads, offering cost-effective transportation solutions for small businesses and shippers with less-than-full truckload volumes.
