LTL quotes, instantly
For a few pallets that don't fill a trailer. You pay for the space and weight your freight uses.
What it is
Less-than-truckload (LTL) freight shares a trailer with other shippers' pallets. It may pass through a terminal and change trucks on the way.
Because the truck is shared, you only pay for your share of it. The number of pallets and how heavy they are for their size set most of the price.
When it's a good fit
- One to twelve pallets
- Regular shipments to many different receivers
- Freight that can take a day or two longer than a full truck
What goes into the price
- The distance, the number of pallets and how dense they are
- A fuel charge
- Border and ferry charges where they apply
- Extras: liftgate, delivery appointment, residential or inside delivery, dangerous goods
You see each charge on its own line before you book.
Have this ready
- Pickup and delivery cities and the ready date
- The number of pallets and the total weight
- Whether either end needs a liftgate or an appointment
LTL: questions shippers ask
Select LTL on the quote page and enter the two cities. Add the pallets and the weight and the price updates as you type.
Up to twelve. Over that it's cheaper and quicker as a full truckload, and the quote page will tell you so.
Heavy pallets take up the truck's weight limit before its space, so dense freight costs more per pallet.
Yes, the same way as any other: with your booking reference, or in your workspace.
