LTL - Less Than Truck Load Services
Less than truckload services are solutions for businesses struggling to get their products to the market. With less than truckload services, you get to transport small cargo deliveries inside a single freight truck.
Less than truckload is commonly used to transport delicate products, but also for carrying small and heavy cargo items. LTL services allow businesses to get their goods to their markets without needing to fill an entire shipment in a truck bed.
Our LTL services help forwarders, NVOCCs, and BCOs move smaller freight volumes with precision, predictable pricing, and real-time visibility. Whether inbound to distribution centers, outbound retail replenishment, or freight moving after transloading, our LTL network covers the entire U.S. and Canada with dependable execution.
LTL Services Backed by Real Scale
The Benefits of Less Than Truckload Delivery
Less than truckload services help businesses adapt and overcome the expensive costs of trucking. They act as an alternative to renting a full truck and paying for storage space at the local freight terminal.
Cost Saving
One of the biggest benefits of trucking is cost. Less than truckload services are cheaper to ship using since you do not have to pay for the entire cargo area inside a freight truck.
Convenience
Most businesses that use LTL services do not store their goods at local terminals for long periods of time. This makes it convenient for customers who do not need to store their cargo in a terminal until they are ready to transport it themselves.
Timesaving
When you use LTL, you do not have to wait in line with other customers trying to reserve an entire truck just for your goods. Fast processing and efficient routing save valuable time.
Flexibility
Ship smaller quantities without waiting to accumulate a full truckload. LTL services provide the flexibility to ship when you need, not when you have enough for a full truck.
Accessibility
Service to locations that may not be cost-effective for full truckloads. LTL networks reach more destinations with regular service schedules.
Real-Time Tracking
Complete visibility into your shipments with real-time tracking, milestone notifications, and digital proof of delivery throughout the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is LTL shipping, and when should I use it instead of FTL?
LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) shipping is used when your freight doesn't fill an entire trailer and can share space with other shippers' pallets. Use LTL when you have 1–10 pallets, recurring replenishment, or smaller outbound orders that don't justify a full truck but still need predictable transit, tracking, and damage-controlled handling.
How does LTL service work from port to final delivery?
We connect drayage, transload, and LTL into one continuous workflow. Containers are pulled from the port or ramp, transloaded or cross-docked if needed, then tendered into our LTL network for hub moves and final-mile delivery—all under a single operational view with consistent status updates.
What kind of tracking and visibility do I get on LTL shipments?
Every LTL shipment includes real-time tracking, milestone scans, and digital proof of delivery. You see pickup, hub movements, out-for-delivery status, and delivery confirmation inside our platform, with proactive exception alerts and the option to integrate via API/EDI into your TMS or ERP.
Do you offer cross-border LTL between the U.S. and Canada?
Yes—we provide cross-border LTL service between the U.S. and Canada with compliant documentation and customs coordination. We work with vetted carriers familiar with border procedures, manage paperwork requirements, and align drayage and inland moves so freight clears and continues moving without unnecessary dwell.
How do you price LTL shipments and keep costs predictable?
LTL pricing is based on lane, weight, freight class/density, and required services, with all accessorials itemized upfront. You receive clear, pre-booked pricing that includes fuel and known surcharges, helping you quote confidently to your customers and avoid surprise charges after delivery.
Can you handle time-sensitive or special-handling LTL freight?
Yes—we support expedited, appointment-based, temperature-controlled, and retail/eCommerce LTL deliveries. We coordinate strict delivery windows for DCs and stores, offer reefer LTL where required, and align with receivers like Amazon and big-box retailers so your shipments arrive on time and in compliance.
