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 without stops for other shipments. 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 less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping, where multiple shipments share the same truck. Businesses often choose FTL for faster transit times and reduced risk of damage, as the cargo is not transferred between multiple vehicles.
