Understanding LTL Freight

How less than truckload shipping works and what affects cost.

What is LTL?

Less than truckload (LTL) freight shares trailer space with other shipments and moves through a carrier's terminal network.

Freight class

LTL pricing uses freight class, which is based on density, handling, stowability and liability. Accurate weights and dimensions prevent costly reclassification.
