WHAT IS FULL TRUCKLOAD SHIPPING? FTL cargo handling (Full truckload) is sometimes called FTL or OTR (over the road). This generally refers to ground-based transportation with semi-trucks. The common method is via dry van trailer, though refrigerated or open deck trailers are also common. With FTL cargo, only freight of one shipper can be loaded onto the truck even if the shipment does not require the entire trailer.

THANLTL
CARGO
HANDLING?
 LTL is commonly referred to as Less than
truckload. It is a mode of surface
transportation that uses semi-trucks
like FTL cargo handling (Full Truckload) but
hauls shipments from multiple companies
together on the same trailer. This option is
typically for shipments that require 1 to 6
pallets. Shipments over 6 pallets are better
suited for volume. In addition to semi-trucks,
LTL shipping can utilize train services,
allowing you to choose the perfect option for
your budget and time constraints.

 Pros and Cons of LTL cargo handling (Less Than
Truckload)

5. Whento Use
FTL?
 Companies mainly use FTL cargo
handling (Full Truckload) shipping when
the shipment is large enough to fill the
entire truck or when the cost of the items
is very high that is being shipped is far
greater than the cost of the truck. Full
truckload shipping faster than the LTL
and their services is always on time.
There is always a risk of damaged or
misplaced products, so you should use
your individual truck for your entire
shipment.

6. Whento Use
LTL?
 LTL cargo handling (Less Than
Truckload) shipping is ideal for smaller
businesses that are not shipping enough
items to fill an entire truckload. By using
networks of goods that are then
consolidated with shipments from other
companies to reduce overall costs. So,
less-than-truckload shipping is not as
fast as full truckload shipping, the cost
savings typically make up for this.

7. ProsandConsof
LTLcargo
handling (Less
ThanTruckload)
 The benefit of LTL cargo handling (Less Than Truckload) mainly
is to bring down costs. Less Than Truckload allows several
different loads that are headed to the same place to be combined
together and fill a truck or container, hence creating an economy
of scale. Each shipper just pays for the space they use. Allways
Logistics is doing this to regulate and standardize rates, whereas
regular trucking prices are completely dependent on the market.
 The main consideration of LTL is time. It takes longer to plan,
organize, and prepare goods for shipping, and of course, the
shipment may take longer to arrive since the truck has to be filled
before it leaves. Depending on how many stops or transfers there
are, LTL involves more handling of goods, increasing the chance of
goods getting damaged or lost.
