WHAT IS LTL SHIPPING?
LTL stands for “less than truckload,” which is a shipping service ideal for small freight, products, and goods that do not require the use of a full truckload. LTL is a great option when shipping palletized or crated freight that weighs between 150 and 15,000 pounds.
When shipping LTL, you only pay for the portion of your freight’s space in a standard truck trailer. Pallets, crates, bundles, and other types of freight from many businesses are combined to create a full truckload shipment. Most freight trailers on the road today can transport the following sizes without requiring permits , these trailer sizes are 8’ – 8.5’ wide, 8.5’ – 13.5’ high, and 40’ – 53’ long, allowing carriers to load several LTL shipments into a single truck and service multiple customers and destinations. Essentially, you are sharing the cost of a full truckload with other businesses which means you are saving and more earning for you or your business.
COST TO SHIP LTL FREIGHT
The cost to ship LTL freight can vary depending on numerous factors, including the type of freight you’re shipping, the dimensions, the distance the freight will travel, and the type of LTL services you require.

FACTORS DETERMINING LTL SHIPPING RATES
- Distance: The further your freight will travel, the higher the price.
- Fuel: Rates are calculated using several factors like current gas prices.
- Shipment Specs: This includes the freight’s weight and dimensions.
- Type of Freight: The type of freight has a major impact on the price. For example, shipping an engine versus a pallet of bricks.
- Location Type: LTL freight not being shipped dock to dock will be more expensive. For example, shipping to a trade show or to a military base would increase the price.
Keep in mind that LTL shipping rates are considerably cheaper than transporting bulky items via parcel.
