FTL Transportation

Full Truckload (FTL) transportation is when a shipper uses the full capacity of a trailer to transport their shipment. While a 53-foot trailer can fit around 30 pallets and 45,000 lbs of shipment, FTL transportation can be a beneficial shipping option if you’re transporting more than half of a trailer.

Benefits of FTL Shipping

Even if freight doesn’t max out the weight and space limitations of a trailer, Full Truckload(FTL) transportation can be an economical decision that will protect valuable freight.

• 1. Single Hub: During an LTL delivery, the truck driver will have to stop at multiple hubs & distribution centres before delivering each individual shipment to its final destination. If your shipment requires to arrive on a tight schedule, FTL transportation is an effective choice. Since the truck only has a single hub or one destination, the trip is accelerated with less starting, stopping and repacking.
• 2. Beneficial for sensitive or perishable goods: FTL freights are packed once and undisturbed for the entire shipment. This is especially beneficial for shipments of any sensitive or perishable goods. With no possibility of disturbance or loss of refrigeration, FTL transportation ensures that your goods reach at their destination in the best condition possible.
• 3. Shipment Rates: Choosing FTL transportation can also help maintain your total shipping cost down. Carrier prices for LTL shipments are higher per unit than FTL prices.
