Less Than Truckload (LTL) FAQ

How is LTL freight priced?

LTL pricing is based on freight class, density, distance, and any accessorial services (liftgate, inside delivery, residential). We negotiate competitive rates through our national carrier network so you only pay for the space you use.

How many pallets can I ship LTL?

LTL is ideal for 1 to 6 pallets. Beyond roughly 6 pallets, a partial or full truckload often becomes more cost-effective — we will quote both so you can compare.

How long does LTL transit take?

LTL transit depends on distance and the carrier network — typically 1-5 business days. Unlike FTL, LTL moves through terminal hubs, so exact timing varies by lane.

Is LTL safe for fragile freight?

LTL involves multiple handling points, so proper packaging and palletization are essential. For high-value or especially fragile goods, we may recommend a partial truckload for reduced handling.
