Less-Than-Truckload Freight

Flexible LTL Shipping for Freight That Doesn't Need a Full Trailer

When your shipment doesn't require an entire trailer, we help you arrange an LTL solution based on your freight, route, schedule and handling requirements.

What Is LTL Freight?

Less-than-truckload shipping is designed for freight that uses only part of a trailer rather than requiring the entire trailer for one shipment.

We review your shipment details, including origin, destination, dimensions, weight, handling units and requested services, so we can determine the appropriate transportation requirements.

Providing accurate shipment information helps us understand your freight before transportation arrangements are confirmed.

LTL May Be Right for You When:

Your freight does not require a full trailer.
You're shipping pallets, crates or other handling units.
You need scheduled pickup and delivery arrangements.
Your shipment may require additional pickup or delivery services.
You want shipment status information available online.
