LTL

Less than truckload shipping or less than load (LTL) is the transportation of relatively small freight. The alternatives to LTL carriers are parcel carriers or full truckload carriers. Parcel carriers usually handle small packages and freight that can be broken down into units less than 150 pounds (68 kg).

LTL vs. Truckload Freight. What’s the Difference?

LTL: LTL shipping combines shipments from multiple customers so your freight isn’t the only freight on the truck; Truckload: When you ship full truckload, your freight is the only thing on the truck.
