Smart Shipping for Smaller Freight
Not every shipment needs a full truck. Less-Than-Truckload shipping allows you to pay only for the trailer space your freight occupies, sharing capacity with other shippers on the same route. LTL is the ideal solution for shipments between 150 lbs and 15,000 lbs that don’t justify full truckload costs.
Challenges
LTL shipping involves multiple handling points, complex freight classification, and varying transit times. Without an experienced logistics partner, you may face unexpected accessorial charges, freight damage, or delivery delays that impact your business.
Our Solutions

Ideal LTL Freight
LTL shipping works best for palletized goods, packaged products, small machinery, retail inventory, trade show materials, and business supplies. If your freight is too large for parcel carriers but doesn’t fill a full trailer, LTL is the cost-effective choice.

Key Benefits
LTL shipping consolidates freight from multiple shippers onto one truck. You pay only for the space your freight occupies rather than the entire trailer. It's ideal for shipments between 150 lbs and 15,000 lbs or 1-10 pallets.
LTL rates are based on freight class (determined by density, handling, and liability), shipment weight, dimensions, origin and destination, and any accessorial services like liftgate or inside delivery. We help you understand and optimize these factors for the best rates.
Freight class is a standardized classification system (classes 50-500) that categorizes shipments based on density, stackability, handling requirements, and liability. Correct classification ensures accurate pricing and prevents billing adjustments or delays.
LTL transit times typically range from 1-5 business days depending on distance and route. Because LTL shipments make multiple stops, transit times are longer than direct truckload service. We provide accurate delivery estimates with every quote.
Yes, we coordinate all LTL accessorial services including liftgate pickup and delivery, inside delivery, limited access locations, residential delivery, appointment scheduling, and notify before delivery. Let us know your requirements for accurate pricing.
LTL shares trailer space with other shipments and is priced by freight class and weight - ideal for smaller loads. Full truckload dedicates an entire trailer to your freight - better for larger shipments over 10,000 lbs or 10+ pallets where you need faster, direct transit.
