Less Than Truckload LTL

A shipment is LTL if it has 5 standard skids and it weighs less than 5,000 lbs. LTL shipping services can save you money and offer a number of accessorial services not typically offered by other LTL carriers, including liftgate service at pickup or delivery, residential (non-commercial) service at pickup or delivery, inside delivery, notification prior to delivery, freeze protection, and others.

In the U.S., every item shipped is categorized under a National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) and corresponding class for LTL shipments. The NMFC is a standardized system used to give customers a streamlined pricing structure for transporting freight. Every item National Logistics Network ships is classed based on its density and sensitivity. 

The difference between LTL and FTL are simple. Less than truckload (LTL) is used when a shipment of goods does not require the entire capacity of a truck. Full truckload (FTL) is just that: a shipment that takes up a full truck. FTL may also be used to ensure no other company's goods are being shipped with yours.
