Full Truckload (FTL)

What is full truckload?

One shipment. The space it needs.

Full truckload, or FTL, reserves a truck or trailer for a single customer’s shipment. It’s an option for larger loads—or freight that calls for its own space and a considered pickup-to-delivery plan.

You don’t have to work out every detail first. Tell us what you’re moving, how it loads and when it needs to arrive. Dispatch helps confirm the right fit.

What’s the difference between FTL and LTL?

FTL is planned around a truck or trailer for one customer’s shipment. LTL is an option for smaller freight that does not need that full space. Share your load’s size, weight and timing with dispatch to discuss the appropriate option.
