In the fast-paced world of logistics, efficiency is king. But what happens when your shipments aren't quite large enough for a full truckload (FTL)? Enter LTL (Less Than Truckload) shipping – a cost-effective solution for businesses with smaller freight needs.
Understanding LTL: Balancing Cost and Speed
LTL shipping involves consolidating multiple shipments heading to similar destinations onto a single truck. This allows businesses to share the trailer space and keep costs down. However, LTL also requires more planning and organization compared to FTL. Here's a breakdown of the key points:
Cost-Effective: Since you only pay for the space you use, LTL is a budget-friendly option for smaller shipments.
Consolidation: Multiple shipments are combined, leading to efficient use of trailer space.
Planning & Timing: LTL shipments may take longer to plan and schedule as the truck needs to be filled.Additionally, the route may include multiple stops, extending delivery times.
