Freight

What is Less Than Truckload?

Also written as LTL

Less than truckload (LTL) freight is a shipment too small to fill a trailer, consolidated with other shipments and moved through terminal networks. Pricing depends on weight, freight class, distance and accessorials.

Why it matters in day-to-day operations

LTL carriers bill by freight class and reweigh shipments, so accurate dimensions prevent surprise reclass charges.
