UNDERSTANDING LTL FREIGHT

LTL or Less-than-Truckload shipping is a method of transporting products that only fill part of a trailer.  In most cases, the freight is packed in large boxes, sealed in crates, or stacked onto pallets.  From there, it’s combined with other shipments from different companies or sources into or onto a single trailer.  This makes LTL shipments a cost-effective and reliable solution for businesses and shippers that only have small amounts of products to deliver.  It’s considerably more flexible than a full truckload and provides a number of benefits for the individual shipper and smaller companies. Thus, for smaller businesses looking to freight goods, this is considered a good and cost-effective option.

HOW IS LTL FREIGHT HANDLED?

We understand the logistics of goods transportation. In most instances, LTL freight is combined in distribution centers, hubs, or warehouse facilities and then unloaded at specified terminals.  From there, receivers pick up their designated orders and they’re on their way to the intended receiver.  It’s not unusual for an LTL shipment handled by Unified Logistics Services to be handled multiple times along the way to its destination.  This is what makes this such a cost-effective method for shipping larger parcels without having to incur the cost of an entire trailer.  Other companies will fill the remaining space in the trailer while only paying for a portion of it.

WHEN SHOULD YOU USE LTL FREIGHT?

Although it’s such a cost-effective method of shipping small amounts of products, LTL shipping isn’t for everybody.  If you’ve been considering this as a shipping option, you should have us explain how it works if you aren’t already familiar with it.  There are certain situations where the use of LTL shipping is the perfect option such as:

• when a shipment is larger than parcel-sized limits
• when you understand the specifics of LTL shipping time
• when you’re able to pack and load freight without any assistance

Additionally, shipping your items by LTL can be beneficial as well as cost-effective.  We understand that different customers have their own budget and requirements. That is why if you’re using Unified Logistics Services, LTL shipping enables you to:

• choose a carrier from a network of shipping companies
• easily book your shipments and track them in real-time
• save on your shipping costs.
