Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do you still want to learn more about LTL shipping? Here are the questions our customers ask us most often. You can also contact customer support by phone or online, and we will be happy to speak with you.

 

What is LTL shipping and how is it different from full truckload (FTL) shipping?

Less Than Truckload (LTL) is a shipping service that allows for the shipment of smaller quantities of cargo than are required to fill a full truckload. Unlike Full Truckload (FTL), where a single customer uses the entire truck space, LTL allows for multiple shipments from different customers to be consolidated into one truck.

 

What are the advantages of LTL shipping?

First, LTL shipping saves money because costs are divided among multiple shippers, meaning that each shipper pays for a portion of the truck space and transportation costs. In addition, LTL transportation is more environmentally friendly, as it makes more efficient use of truck space and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Finally, it offers increased flexibility for medium-sized shipments, as it allows shippers to send smaller quantities of cargo at a time.

 

What types of goods are compatible with LTL transport?

LTL shipping is generally suitable for small to medium sized cargo that does not require an entire truck to ship. This can include pallets, boxes of various sizes, furniture, electronic equipment, building materials and more. Please note that transporting hazardous materials or perishable products may not be possible using LTL shipping due to specific industry regulations.

 

How long does LTL shipping take and how are delivery times calculated?

Delivery times depend on several factors including the distance between the point of departure and the point of arrival, the time required to consolidate the goods, and the delivery terms. In general, transit time can vary from 1 to 5 business days, depending on the destination and the complexity of the delivery route.

Chat with us to get a customized delivery time based on your needs. Expedited delivery services are available for an additional fee. We calculate delivery times based on the most efficient transportation routes, loading and unloading times, and your specific needs.

 

How does LTL shipping work, from collection to delivery?

First, we collect cargo from various shippers. The cargo is sorted and consolidated in a warehouse, where goods are checked, weighed and measured. Loads are optimized to minimize transportation costs and loaded onto trucks.

When the trucks arrive at a transit center, their cargo is unloaded and sorted, then loaded onto a larger truck for the final leg of the journey. Deliveries are made within specific times that recipients have agreed to in advance. The LTL shipping process is optimized to minimize transit times and maximize efficiency.

 

How are LTL shipping services priced and what are the associated costs?

Rates for LTL transportation services are calculated based on weight, size, destination and type of cargo. We also consider the distance traveled and the level of service required. Costs vary depending on these factors, as well as fluctuations in the market, the seasons, and demand. If you have special requests, additional charges may apply. We also offer a density calculator so that you can estimate the weight of your load. Feel free to contact our team for a custom quote.
