LTL (Less Than Truckload or Less Than Load) refers to shipping goods on a trailer that fills less than the trailer’s full capacity, and at a fraction of the cost of paying for an entire trailer. Several customers can all use the same truck to have their goods delivered. Both LTL and FTL (full truckload) shipping refer to the amount of product that needs to be shipped rather than the type of product.
Usually between one and six pallets is considered in the range of LTL, and under a weight of 10,000 lbs.
There are a variety of factors that go into the rates at which freight is charged. When it comes to LTL loads, the first factor is weight. The more weight you ship, the better the cost. The second factor is density, which affects the amount of area taken up on the truck. Distance is another factor, along with ease of handling, value, and liability.
