Full Truckload (FTL)
Full Truckload (FTL) is a shipping method where an entire truck is dedicated to transporting a single shipment. This means that the cargo fills the entire trailer, allowing for direct delivery from the sender to the receiver without any stops for additional pickups or drop-offs. FTL is often used for large shipments that require a significant amount of space.
FTL shipping is typically more cost-effective for large loads compared to other methods, such as Less Than Truckload (LTL). It also offers faster transit times since the truck travels directly to its destination. Businesses often choose FTL for time-sensitive deliveries or when shipping high-volume goods.
