Full Truck Load (FTL)

What is Full Truck Load (FTL)?

Full truck load (FTL) is a term used in the transportation industry to refer to a shipment that occupies the entire capacity of a truck or trailer. This means that the shipment is large enough to fill the entire space of the truck, rather than sharing the space with other smaller shipments. FTL shipments are typically used for high-volume and time-sensitive freight, and are usually for long-haul transportation. FTL is often preferred for its efficiency and speed in delivering large shipments.

Advantages of FTL

Faster delivery: FTL shipments can often be delivered faster than LTL shipments because there is no need to wait for other shipments to be loaded onto the truck.

Reduced risk of damage: FTL shipments are usually loaded and unloaded less frequently than LTL shipments, which reduces the risk of damage to the freight.

More secure: FTL shipments are often more secure because the entire truck is dedicated to your shipment, which reduces the risk of theft or loss.

Less handling: FTL shipments are typically loaded and unloaded only once, which reduces the risk of damage or loss during handling.

Flexibility: FTL shipments offer more flexibility in terms of pickup and delivery times because the entire truck is dedicated to your shipment.

Overall, FTL services can provide a more cost-effective, efficient, and secure transportation option for larger shipments that require dedicated space on a truck or trailer.
