Less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping is a cost-effective solution for businesses that need to ship freight weighing between 150 and 10,000 pounds. Instead of paying for an entire truck, multiple shippers share space on the same trailer, splitting transportation costs based on the space each shipment occupies.
LTL shipping is ideal for small to medium-sized businesses, e-commerce companies, and anyone who needs regular shipments but doesn't have enough freight to fill an entire truck. This shipping method provides access to professional freight networks at a fraction of the cost of full truckload shipping.
With our extensive carrier network, we connect you with reliable LTL carriers that offer competitive rates, advanced tracking, and professional handling of your freight from pickup to delivery.

LTL Shipping FAQ
What is LTL shipping?
LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) shipping is when your freight shares trailer space with other shipments. It's ideal for shipments between 150-10,000 lbs that don't require a full truck.
How is LTL freight priced?
LTL pricing is based on freight class (density and value), weight, dimensions, origin/destination, and any accessorial services needed like liftgate or inside delivery. Learn more in our freight class guide and shipping costs article.
How long does LTL shipping take?
Transit times vary by distance. Regional shipments typically take 1-3 days, while cross-country shipments may take 5-7 days. We provide estimated delivery dates with every quote.
What's the difference between LTL and FTL shipping?
LTL shares trailer space with other shipments (150-10,000 lbs), while FTL dedicates an entire truck to your freight (10,000+ lbs). FTL is faster but more expensive. Read our detailed comparison in our LTL vs FTL guide.
What are common LTL accessorial charges?
Common accessorials include liftgate service (pickup/delivery without dock), inside delivery, residential pickup/delivery, limited access fees, and reweigh/reclassification charges. We clearly itemize all fees in your quote.
How do I prepare my LTL shipment?
Properly palletize freight, secure with shrink wrap or straps, measure and weigh accurately, and clearly label each piece. Check our shipment preparation guide for detailed instructions.
Is my LTL shipment insured?
Carriers provide limited liability coverage (typically $0.10-$0.50 per pound). For high-value items, we recommend additional cargo insurance, which we can arrange for you.
Can I track my LTL shipment?
Yes! All our LTL carriers offer real-time tracking. You'll receive a tracking number after pickup and can monitor your shipment's progress online.
