LTL Shipping is one of the most popular and cost-effective methods of shipping, especially for small to medium-sized businesses. However, the LTL shipping journey can seem complex for new shippers that are unfamiliar with the process. Because of this, we've put together a step-by-step guide that breaks down the LTL freight journey, from beginning to end.
A popular misconception is that LTL freight shipments are picked up at point A and then delivered directly to point B.
In actuality, the average LTL freight shipment often goes through at least 6 moves on a forklift and is transported on at least 3 different trucks before arriving at its destination.
Because LTL freight shares space in a trailer with other shippers' cargo, the route will always involve multiple stops and often requires extensive logistical coordination.
