What is LTL Freight Shipping // InXpress Logistics Consultant

l t l or less than truckload for those,that are new to the logistics game and,it,is exactly what it sounds like this type,of freight is usually,small pallets that are shipped in a,trailer pulled by a semi,with other goods similar to it as,opposed to a full truckload of freight,or just,truckload or tl the biggest thing you,should know about ltl shipping is that,you actually share the space,in a trailer with other small businesses,that are shipping their goods out into,the world,just like you this allows for the,carrier to fill every square inch with,freight from all different kinds of,shippers,what's nice about this and what makes it,such a great option for small businesses,is that you only pay for the space that,your freight takes up,inside the trailer so instead of booking,an entire trailer to do a truckload,shipment or tl,you only pay for what you need which,means a healthier bottom line,for your business another thing that,sets ltl freight apart from other,different kinds of shipping methods,is that it actually moves and goes,through a hub and spoke,type of model and again it is what it,sounds like think of it like a bike,wheel,you have local terminals there are the,spokes that connect to a distribution,center,or central hub the local terminals are,where the workers load freight onto the,trucks,from there drivers haul the loaded goods,or freight to the various distribution,centers,where they are either delivered or,consolidated into other trailers,with other freight for further,transportation this differs from,truckload or tl because with truckload,you tend to go from point a,to point b with little to no stops in,between,and because ltl goes to the hub and,spoke model there tends to be more,handling,than truckload shipping another benefit,of using ltl freight is goods are often,packed on,pallets and shrink wrapped and either,tied down or secured within the trailer,this ups the chance of getting to its,destination,secure and in one piece versus a lot of,small packaged goods,that have to be handled and passed,through many hands going this route also,allows you access to lift gates and for,carriers to come,inside your facility to make the pickup,and delivery now there are some things,that you have to keep in mind if you're,considering going with an,ltl freight option first is that the,further the destination your freight,needs to go,the higher the cost you also need to,know your dimension and weight of your,freight because that will determine,your freight class we've done a video,all about freight class and determining,freight costs i'll link that in the,description below or you can click that,i icon,at the top right of your screen and if,your freight requires some kind of,specialty equipment to handle it,additional fees might stack up on you,that is ltl,freight in a nutshell what has been your,experience with ltl freight have you,ever even considered,this as a shipping option for your,business sound off let me know in the,comments section,below
