Less-than-truckload, also known as or less-than-load (LTL), is a shipping service for relatively small loads or quantities of freight. Less-than-truckload services are offered by many large, national parcel services as well as by specialized logistics providers.These services can accommodate the shipping needs of countless businesses that need to move smaller batches of goods frequently. Less-than-truckload shippers offer economies of scale so that freight costs of individual shipments are minimized.
Partial truckload is a freight mode for large shipments that may not require the use of a full truckload trailer. Partial truckload is a shipment that falls between Less Than Truckload (LTL) and Full Truckload (FTL). This means, the shipment is large to be called LTL and not large enough to occupy the whole capacity of a truck. PTL can be considered an option under specific circumstances.
Full truckload, commonly referred to as FTL, is a type of shipping mode whereby a truck carries one dedicated shipment. In other words, the journey is reserved for one shipment only. FTL trucking has several advantages over the alternative trucking shipment mode, LTL, or less than a full truckload shipment. For shipments that are large enough to fill or nearly fill an entire shipping container, full truckloads work out cheaper. Full truckloads are much less encumbered by size and weight restrictions.
