What is Full Truck Load (FTL)?

Full Truck Load (FTL) is a term used to describe the transportation of goods using a single truck and driver. This type of shipment usually involves a full trailer that is loaded with a single customer’s cargo and is shipped directly to its destination.  

 

FTL is typically used for larger shipments when customers need their cargo delivered in a timely and cost-effective manner.
