Truckload and Volume
LTL Shipping

2. Based in Ohio, Thomas Cutura is a sales manager and freight agent who
ensures the timely delivery of truckloads across the country. Thomas
Cutura handles a range of duties with White Line Freight, including
coordinating LTL (less than truck load) freight, volume LTL, and partial
truckload shipments.
All of these types of shipments do not involve enough freight volume to
fill an entire trailer, which typically can accommodate as much as 45,000
pounds and 26 pallets. In contrast to a full truckload, LTL Freight
shipments are from one to six pallets, and weigh of under 5,000 pounds.
Volume LTL is reserved for shipments of in excess of a half-dozen pallets
and more than 5,000 pounds. In general, such freight shipments take up
linear trailer space totaling 12 to 32 feet. The rest of the truck space is
filled with shipments that also employ the same mode of transport. This
economizes, as each shipper is only responsible for part of the area of
the truck and of the total weight. Another benefit is that the freight is
discretely loaded such that there are not multiple loadings and reloading
throughout the trip, which helps minimize freight condition risk.

3. Like volume LTL, partial truckload is designed for shipments of above
5,000 pounds, but it allows for even more pallets than are possible with
volume LTL. It also differs from its counterpart in that the product does
not need to be on pallets or crated prior to shipping. Shipping prices are
determined by the current market rate, rather than the established rates
associated with volume LTL. In addition, those who make use of partial
truckload shipping may need to be more flexible when it comes to
shipment and pickup dates.
