The truck drivers involved in this freight type are transporting small packages than can be broken down into specific units.
To put it in another way, there are units including less than 150 lb.
Particularly, LTL or less than truckload cargos are types of freight which involve weight varying between 200 and 20,000 pounds.
In these freight types, the intermodal trucking companies are also involved.
As an illustration, FedEx and UPS, YRC and Old Dominion Freight are an example of the LTL transportation services.
These freight types also involve semi-trailer drivers as well as delivery drivers. Semi-trailers normally range from 26 to 53 feet.
LTL transportation is considered as the best way to move a local cargo efficiently, quickly and economically.
3. Partial Truckload or PTL
The partial loads are combined types of freight. In other words, they are a combination of the LTL and TL freight.
