LTL or Less Than Truckload cargo is any item that does not require a full trailer.  LTL shipments can be any type of commodity.  Generally LTL shipments are 1 -5 pallets, skids, crates or boxes and can weigh anywhere from a few hundred pounds to several thousand pounds.  LTL shipping is a great cost effective method for smaller shipments.  Due to our high volume of LTL shipments, we are able to offer our customers extremely attractive LTL prices.  When pricing LTL shipments, cargo density plays a big part in determining the rate.  Cargo that is fragile is more expensive than cargo the is not easily damaged.  Odly shaped items will also be more expensive than a standard size pallet.  LTL shipping is a great option for individuals that need to ship any type commodity long distances.  LTL cargo must be properly packaged for transport either secured in a crate or secured to a pallet.  LTL cargo will be handled multiple times with pallet jacks and fork lifts between when it is pick up and when it arrives to delivery.  We do offer liftgate service for all LTL shipments for our customers that may not have a loading dock or forklift.
