Full Truckload (FTL) Shipping
With full truckload FTL shipping, your freight moves on a single truck from pickup to delivery without sharing space with other shippers. This makes FTL services ideal for large shipments, time‑sensitive freight, or high‑value cargo.
Manufacturers, wholesalers, and distributors commonly rely on full truckload shipping to move freight efficiently, reduce transit times, and maintain better control over their supply chain.
Is Full Truckload Shipping Right For Me?
Full truckload shipping (FTL) is the dedicated use of an entire tractor‑trailer to move a single shipment. This shipping method is ideal for businesses transporting large quantities of goods or managing a large shipment that requires exclusive trailer space. Therefore, since the truck is not shared, full truckload freight is commonly used for time‑sensitive, high‑volume, or expedited shipments.
Manufacturers, wholesalers, and distributors frequently rely on FTL services to move freight efficiently across regional and long‑haul lanes while maintaining tighter control over transit times.

Is Full Truckload Shipping Right for Your Business?
Lower Overall Shipping Costs
For larger loads, full truckload shipping often results in lower total costs compared to sending multiple LTL shipments. One truck, one shipment, and one rate help simplify pricing and improve cost efficiency.
Faster Transit Times
Because your freight moves on a dedicated truck, full truckload FTL shipping offers faster transit times. This is especially important for tight delivery windows or expedited freight.
Minimal Freight Handling
With truckload shipping, freight is loaded once and unloaded once. Reduced handling lowers the risk of damage, minimizes delays, and helps protect sensitive or high‑value shipments.
Cargo Insurance Coverage
Most full truckload shipments include cargo liability coverage up to $100,000, providing additional protection during transit and added peace of mind.
