What is less than truckload shipping?
The less than truckload option is for shipments that aren't big enough for entire truck. LTL shipments are loaded with small shipments to fill up truck. The cost of LTL shipments is lower as they pass through many carrier hubs to pick up and drop off cargo. LTL may be less expensive, but it requires longer transit times since your goods may need to stop, or move trucks
The factors that determine LTL shipping rates
Weight and dimensions:
The height, weight, width, and girth of the shipment are typically considered when determining the "Freight class." The higher the freight class, the higher the rate.
Location:
Longer distances will result in higher rates for freight.
Residential or commercial:
There is an additional service charge associated with residential shipping due to the use of a lift gate.
Type:
Depending on whether the shipment needs special handling or equipment for transportation, fees may apply.
Services:
You can enhance your shipping experience by adding additional services, such as White Glove delivery. You can add these options to your order at a variety of prices.
