Full Truckload (FTL) Freight Shipping Services
One truck. One shipment. One destination. Full truckload freight shipping services, often known as FTL, are used when a sender needs to ship a load that can fill an entire truck. A dedicated trailer hauls the entire shipment from its origin directly to its destination (although there may be brief stop-offs on the way). Known for efficiency and cost-effectiveness, full truckload freight services are perfect for those who ship large products or high quantities.
Why Choose Full Truckload Shipping? What Are the Advantages of FTL?
If your loads can fill a container to capacity, FTL is the way to go. There are several advantages of full truckload freight shipping, including:
- Time – Since the truck stops less on the way to its destination, it gets there faster.
- Cost – Paying for one shipment means the cost per unit is lower (as long as the load is large enough).
- Flexibility – There are fewer restrictions on size and weight for full truckload shipments, and it’s easier to adjust the route and pickup time for efficiency.
- Peace of Mind – Since a full truckload stops less in transit, there are fewer risks of delay, improper handling, loss, and damage.
On the other hand, if you’re dealing with smaller shipments, LTL services might be better for your business.
