Common Questions About Full Truckload Shipping
Whether you are comparing transportation options or planning recurring freight, these answers can help determine if full truckload is the right fit.
What is full truckload shipping?
Full truckload (FTL) shipping uses an entire trailer for one shipment instead of sharing trailer space with other freight. It is commonly used for larger shipments, time-sensitive deliveries, and freight requiring fewer handling points.
When should I choose FTL instead of LTL?
FTL is often the better option when your shipment requires dedicated trailer space, faster transit, reduced handling, or more control over delivery timing.
How much freight fits on a full truckload trailer?
A standard 53-foot trailer can typically hold up to 26 standard pallets, depending on pallet dimensions, freight characteristics, and loading requirements.
What types of freight can move via FTL?
Full truckload transportation supports dry van, flatbed, temperature-controlled, hazardous materials, oversized, high-value, and specialized shipments.
