What Is LTL Freight?
LTL freight, or Less Than Truckload, freight is a form of shipping goods in smaller batches or single items that don’t require the capacity of an entire truck. LTL shipments are usually under 20,000 lbs in weight, and normally range from 150 to 15,000 lbs. This type of freight is suitable for businesses that require partial shipments such as furniture, electronics, and food items.
By not occupying the whole truck for your load, this means you are sharing the space with other shippers. Instead of hiring a full trailer, which will definitely cost more, you can share the cost with other shippers by using an LTL freight service, especially if your shipment goods require a less than full trailer space. This process is also called the capacity sharing, where you will only pay for the space of your shipment.
