“LESS THAN TRUCK LOAD/PARTIAL TRUCK LOAD.”
When delivering modest amounts of freight (usually 1 to 5 pallets and weighing up to 6,000 pounds per shipment), LTL, or less than truckload freight, is the best choice. This is the most economical option because subsequent shipments will fill the empty space.
LTL and FTL are combined to form PTL, or partial truckload freight. Your goods must weigh between 5 and 16 pallets or 6,000 and 27,000 pounds to qualify as an option.
