What is LTL freight shipping?
Less-than-truckload (LTL) freight shipping means just that — a shipment that is too large for parcel shipping, but doesn’t fill an entire freight truck. LTL freight helps small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) minimize their shipping costs by combining shipments from multiple companies to fill an entire truckload. So if your freight weighs between 150 and 15,000 lbs. and uses 6 or fewer pallets, LTL shipping could be a great, cost-effective option for your business.
