LTL freight FAQ
- What is LTL freight shipping?
-
LTL, or less-than-truckload shipping, is used when freight does not require a dedicated trailer. Multiple shipments share trailer space, which helps shippers control cost on palletized freight.
- How does LTL pricing work?
-
LTL pricing usually depends on shipment dimensions, weight, freight class, lane, accessorial requirements, and the carrier network available for the move.
- What is freight class?
-
Freight class is a standardized way of evaluating certain commodities based on density, handling, stowability, and liability. It can affect how an LTL shipment is rated.
- When should I choose LTL instead of FTL?
-
LTL is often the better choice when the shipment is smaller, more flexible on handling, and does not need the speed or dedicated capacity of a full truckload move.
