Less Truck Load (LTL) transportation is a logistics service where multiple shippers share space on a single truck, each paying only for the portion of the truck they use. This is ideal for smaller shipments that do not require the full capacity of a truck.
Features
Shared Space: Multiple shipments from different shippers are combined in one truck.
Cost Efficiency: Shippers only pay for the space their goods occupy, making it cost-effective for smaller shipments.
Scheduled Routes: Trucks follow predetermined routes, which can mean longer transit times but also predictable schedules.
Benefits
Economical: Lower costs compared to Full Truck Load (FTL) transportation since expenses are shared among multiple shippers.
Flexibility: Suitable for various shipment sizes and types, making it versatile for different businesses.
Environmental Impact: Consolidating shipments reduces the number of trucks on the road, lowering the overall carbon footprint.
