One truck. One shipment. Direct from pickup to delivery. Highest-priority freight movement with no co-loading, no consolidation, and no extra hands on your cargo.
Full Truckload (FTL) is a shipping mode where one truck is responsible for a single shipment from one point to another. No stops. No splits. No surprises.
When you book FTL, the trailer is yours for the run. No other shippers, no terminal handling, no transfer at a hub. The driver loads at your dock and delivers to the consignee directly.
For shippers that means lower damage risk, tighter ETAs, and simpler claims if anything does go wrong. For drivers and operators it means a clean haul with one bill of lading.
FTL is the right call any time you need predictability — high-value freight, tight delivery windows, fragile cargo, or anything that benefits from staying on one truck the entire way.
10+ pallets or a near-full 53-foot trailer. The math just works out cheaper than LTL once you fill the deck.
Glass, electronics, furniture, anything that hates being moved twice. FTL eliminates the LTL terminal handling.
When the appointment is fixed and you cannot afford terminal delays. Direct routing beats network routing every time.
DC-to-store replenishment, store-to-DC reverse logistics, full-pallet wholesale orders.

FTL (Full Truckload) means one truck carries one shipment, end to end, no co-loading. LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) consolidates multiple shippers on one truck with terminal stops. FTL is faster, lower damage risk, and cheaper once you fill the trailer (~10+ pallets).
