We Ship Full Truck Load (FTL) Freight
What is Full Truck Load (FTL) Shipping
Full Truck Load (FTL) shipping means your freight fills an entire truck on its own. Instead of sharing space with other shippers’ goods, your cargo is the only one loaded on the truck from start to finish. This reduces stops, lowers the risk of damage, and shortens transit time.
In FTL, one shipper uses the entire capacity of the trailer, either by volume or weight. You get a dedicated truck and driver, which helps improve security and timing. FTL works well when your shipment is large, time-sensitive, or valuable.

Pros and Cons of FTL Shipping
FTL shipping offers several clear benefits when the volume or conditions make it the right choice.
Advantages:
- Faster transit times since there are no transfers
- Lower chance of freight damage or loss
- Direct delivery from origin to destination
- Consistent, predictable routing
- Better suited for sensitive or high-value loads
Challenges:
- Higher cost for small or partial shipments
- Less flexibility if schedules change
- Requires enough freight to justify the space
For many businesses, the speed and control of FTL outweigh the cost—especially when deadlines or product safety matter.
When FTL Shipping Works Best
You should choose FTL when your freight needs to move without delay or compromise. Large shipments, tight delivery windows, or special handling often make FTL the better choice.
If you’re shipping more than ten pallets or if your freight fills more than half a trailer, FTL usually costs less per unit than LTL. FTL also avoids the frequent stops and handling that come with shared loads. This reduces exposure and keeps your goods in better condition.
FTL is best when:
- Delivery is time-critical
- Freight is fragile or high-value
- Your destination is remote or not ideal for LTL
- You need to avoid rehandling
If you’ve had delays, damages, or inconsistent service with LTL, switching to FTL could solve those issues.
