What is Full Truckload?

Full truckload, or FTL, is a shipping mode where one truck is responsible for a single shipment from one point to another. In an FTL shipment, the truck travels from point A to point B, making the transit times faster, but also a more expensive mode.

What are some advantages of shipping Full Truckload? 

-  Most efficient mode of transportation for large shipments 

- Most cost effective mode for shipments over a certain size

- Less size and weight restrictions

- Faster transit times than consolidated or less-than-truckload shipments

- Direct move from origin to destination

- Less handling and less likely to be lost or damaged as it stays with one truck driver/handler
