What is Less Than Truck Load (LTL)?

Less Than Truck Load (LTL) is a type of freight shipping that involves sending goods that don’t require a full truckload. LTL shipments are typically smaller and lighter than a full truckload and are generally more cost effective for businesses.  

 

They are consolidated with other shipments in order to maximize the efficiency of the truck and reduce overall costs.
