Cost Efficiency for Larger Shipments
Less Handling
Faster Delivery
What Makes Partial Truckload Different?
Partial Truckload (PTL) shipping fills the gap between Less Than Truckload (LTL) and Full Truckload (FTL) shipments. It's ideal for shipments larger than what LTL typically handles (more than 1-8 pallets) but not large enough to require a full truck trailer.
PTL offers a sweet spot of cost efficiency and flexibility, allowing for the consolidation of shipments from different shippers without needing to fill an entire trailer. This makes PTL a smart choice for shippers looking for a balance between speed, cost, and the amount of freight being shipped.
FTL vs. PTL vs. LTL
Understanding the Differences:
Each of these shipping options offers unique benefits depending on the size of your shipment, budget, and timing requirements.
(FTL) Full Truckload
For shipments needing a whole trailer. Exclusive use ensures no shared space, perfect for large or urgent deliveries.
(PTL) Partial Truckload
Suits shipments larger than LTL but not enough to fill a trailer. Shares space with others, balancing cost and delivery speed.
(LTL) Less Than Truckload
Best for small to medium shipments (1-8 pallets) sharing trailer space and costs, making it the most economical choice
