Frequently Asked Questions

What does LTL stand for in trucking?

LTL stands for less-than-truckload. It is a freight service for shipments that do not require an entire trailer. Multiple customers’ palletized shipments share trailer space, with each shipper paying for the portion used. LTL pricing typically considers freight class, weight, dimensions, origin, destination, and accessorial services such as liftgate delivery or residential pickup.
