Full Truck Load (FTL)
Full Truck Load (FTL) Deck Transportation
Full Truck Load (FTL) deck transportation is a logistics service where an entire truck is dedicated to a single shipment or customer. This mode of transport is typically used for large shipments that can fill a truck or when a customer prefers not to share truck space with other shippers. Here are some key features and benefits of FTL deck transportation:
Features
Exclusive Use: The entire truck is reserved for one shipment, ensuring no other goods are mixed with the cargo.
Direct Route: The shipment typically travels directly from the pickup point to the destination without additional stops or transfers, reducing transit time.
Higher Capacity: Suitable for large shipments that can utilize the full capacity of the truck.
Deck Types: Various deck types are available to accommodate different types of cargo, including flatbeds, step decks, and double drop decks.
Benefits
Speed and Efficiency: Faster delivery times compared to Less than Truck Load (LTL) shipments due to direct routing.
Cost-Effectiveness: More economical for large shipments as the cost is spread over a higher volume of goods.
Flexibility: Ability to handle oversized or specialized cargo that may not be suitable for standard truck configurations.
