Less Than a Truckload (LTL) Freight Meaning

LTL Freight Meaning explained!

Less than a truckload or LTL services are one of the hottest services in the freight industry.  In order to take advantage of LTL services you need to be a whiz at properly classifying freight and great at matching shippers to carriers to insure that cargo is transported quickly, efficiently and without damage and above all meeting customer demands.

Most LTL freight is shipped in enclosed van trailers but can also take advantage of flatbed trailers.  Refrigerated or “reefer” trailers are also available for LTL freight transport in certain instances.  It is generally very important for the shipper to designate what type of equipment will work best for their freight.  Specifically, the shipper and receiver should communicate about the need for a lift gate trailer should the delivery location warrant it and also be able to specify if pickup and delivery addresses are commercial or residential.

LTL Services are generally available for freight that fits on one pallet and up to 10,000 pound and can save a significant amount of money on freight services meaning that your shipment does not have to fill a trailer to be shipped.  Rates are determined by the class of freight, pickup zip code and destination zip code.  Freight Management Logistics specializes in LTL freight management so you can be assured your freight gets there quickly and cost-effectively, get an LTL freight quote now to see how well we can do for you! Hope that you now understand ltl freight meaning.
