What is Full Container Load (FCL)?

Full Container Load (FCL) is a term used to describe the process of loading an entire container with cargo from a single shipper. It is typically the most cost-efficient way of shipping large quantities of goods, as it allows for consolidated shipments that can be sent in one container. FCL is often used for international shipments.
