What is LTL Freight Shipping?

Freight shipping has been the power of commerce for some decades. However, as time passes, businesses need unique solutions for sending different types of freight in an expedited manner or non-standard. This is the main reason why Full Truckload and LTL freight shipping (Less-Than-Truckload) exist. This type of freight shipping can save business money and help them better serve their customers.

LTL freight shipping is also called Less than Truckload. It is a method of transporting multiple goods or freight owned by different businesses using one truck. These freights can weigh between 150 and 15,000 lbs. These irregular freight lots are packed on pallets, which can save more money than a full truck. LTL freight shipping enables small shippers to get their freight to where it needs to be. Same us full truck freights are delivered at the same speed and shipped via truck. Over the last decade, LTL is considered a popular freight service because medium-sized lots have opened up. If you have medium-sized lots that needed to be shipped from the US to Canada, LTL is a good option.

If you need to ship from the US to Canada, All Freight Shipping presents the best cost-saving solution.

 

How does the LTL Freight Shipping Process work?

Generally, the ideal weight for shipments for LTL is between 150 and 15,000 lbs. Lots that weigh less than 150 lbs. is handled by parcel carriers such as Fed-Ex or the USPS. Whereas, lots of 15,000 or more are considered the domain of every freight shipper. LTL shipping is best for shipping lots in between this weight range from Canada to US regions, economically.

Typically, LTL carriers are using a “hub and spoke” arrangement where freight is delivered by the customer. Then this is palletized at the carrier’s “spoke terminal”. These two ways are usually called as “LTL common carriers.” 

Once the freight is packed on a standard trailer it will be sent to the central hub. This is sent to the central hub for further consolidation and shifting before delivering the pallet to its destination. This destination is known as DCS or distribution centers. Whereas, the process is called “line hauling.” The line hauling process takes longer than full truckload shipping (FTL). The reason is, freights are moved between trucks, then different hub stations, and are packed carefully.

Local drivers working at the spoke terminals usually load up and make pickups from their regular routes in the morning. Afterward, they will deliver freight to be packed and sorted from long-range delivery. In the afternoon, they will make deliveries to clients who they regularly serve.
