When to Choose Less Than Truckload (LTL) Shipping

LTL is the ideal choice in various scenarios. Here are situations where LTL shipping works best:

  1. Small Shipments: If your freight is too small to fill a whole truck, LTL shipping allows for the sharing of truck space with others, making it a cost-effective option.
  2. Flexible Delivery Timelines: LTL is suited for shipments that are not time-sensitive, as consolidation can take longer. However, it offers more scheduling flexibility.
  3. Local or Regional Moves: For shipments within nearby areas, LTL can be a great choice, particularly for short distances.
  4. Limited Storage: For businesses with limited storage space, LTL allows for frequent, smaller shipments rather than bulk deliveries, reducing the need for large storage areas.
  5. Sustainability Goals: LTL contributes to sustainability efforts by consolidating multiple shipments on a single truck, reducing the overall carbon footprint.
    If your shipment requires a quicker turnaround, specific handling, or is unusually large, consider other shipping options like FTL (Full Truckload) or expedited services. Werex Trans can also help evaluate which method is most suitable for your specific needs.

How to Prepare LTL Shipments

Proper preparation ensures smooth and efficient shipping. Here’s what you need to keep in mind:

  1. Dimensions: Measure your shipment’s length, width, and height accurately. Round up to the nearest inch to avoid unexpected adjustment fees.
  2. Documentation: Complete the bill of lading (BOL) correctly and provide it to the carrier upon arrival. This document serves as both a receipt and a shipping contract.
  3. Packaging and Labeling: Secure goods onto pallets to minimize damage. Heavy items should be placed at the bottom of pallets. Proper labeling on the side ensures easy identification.

Additional LTL Shipping Services

  • Expedited Shipping: Choose expedited shipping when you need a faster delivery than standard transit times.
  • Liftgate Service: This service is used when the freight weighs more than 100 pounds, and the destination does not have a dock for unloading.
  • Limited Access Locations: If your delivery is to a location with restricted access, such as a construction site or rural area, LTL carriers provide limited access service.
  • Inside Pickup and Delivery: If the carrier needs to enter a building to pick up or deliver your shipment, this service can be requested.

Common Questions About LTL Shipping

How Does LTL Work?

LTL shipping operates through a hub-and-spoke system, where local terminals serve as spokes and larger distribution hubs are central points for consolidating shipments.

How Is LTL Freight Priced?

The price for LTL shipments is calculated based on several factors, including the distance, weight, dimensions, freight class, and any additional services such as liftgates or expedited delivery.

Do I Need to Know My Shipment's Freight Class?

Freight class is a system used to categorize goods in the LTL industry. It’s determined based on factors like density, handling, and liability. Werex Trans offers tools to help calculate the freight class for your shipment easily.

What’s the Difference Between LTL and FTL?

LTL is used when freight doesn’t require the full capacity of a truck, whereas Full Truckload (FTL) fills an entire truck or trailer.

Should I Ship Parcel or LTL?

If your shipment exceeds 150 pounds, LTL shipping is often the more economical and efficient choice.

How Fast is LTL Freight Shipping?

LTL typically takes longer than FTL due to consolidation, but expedited options are available for quicker delivery.

What Happens During Pickup?

During pickup, make sure to provide the driver with the bill of lading. Unless an inside pickup service is arranged, the driver will not assist with loading, and you’ll need to handle that yourself.
