What distinguishes LTL from FTL shipping?
The following is the main factor that shippers should take into account when deciding whether FTL or LTL is best for their current shipment: Moving smaller goods loads typically involves using LTL shipping, which is more cost-effective and efficient. You should take into account LTL service if you have 12 pallets or fewer. However, an FTL carrier is likely the most effective and economical option if you have enough freight to fill a conventional 53-foot truck.
How do I calculate the price of shipping goods?
