What is LTL Freight Shipping?
Less-than-Truckload, or commonly referred to as LTL, is a type of shipping service aimed to save shippers money through consolidation. The service is typically utilized when a full truckload is not needed to complete the service. A standard LTL shipment is typically under 6 pallets and between 80 - 10,000 pounds. However, LTL freight rates are based on unique contracts and cubic-capacity rules that may affect these conditions.
How does LTL Shipping Work?
LTL carriers use local terminals to help pickup and consolidate smaller shipments. Once picked up, the carrier will utilize their network of terminals to transport the shipment to the final destination. This is referred to as the line-haul transit. Once at the final destination terminal, the carrier will then deliver the freight
Benefits of LTL Shipping
Cost-Effective
Less-than-Truckload (LTL) rates are designed to be more economical as you pay for only the space and product that is shipped. Select the least cost provider with rates containing line haul, fuel, and accessorials all-in cost.
Extra-Service Options
LTL carriers provide more flexible service options, such as liftgates and pallet jacks. This helps smaller businesses without docks and residential deliveries happen. Dedicated truckload carriers may not have these services available for shipments.
Online-Tracking
Most less than truckload carriers are able to integrate with EDI/API technology to provide tracking for shipments. TLI's ViewPoint provides ERP integration for shippers to gather freight data within their own system.
