Less than truckload (LTL) shipping is one of the most common types of freight. This mode of transportation is particularly suitable for transporting small cargo ranging in weight from 100 to 20,000 pounds. Less-than-truckload shipping (LTL) is affordable, flexible, and environmentally friendly.

LTL shipping is a way of combining small shipments from multiple shippers for shipping. Under this mode of transportation, payment is typically borne by the shipper, specifically based on the truck space occupied by the cargo and the cost of services incurred.
