Special shipment needs supported
In LTL shipping, multiple shipments from different companies are consolidated onto a single truck to maximize space utilization and minimize costs. DGL is a popular option for businesses that need to transport smaller shipments economically while leveraging the infrastructure and expertise of LTL carriers.
Flexibility in
Shipping cost
To determine the shipping cost in LTL, factors such as the weight, dimensions, density, and freight class of the shipment are considered. Freight class is a standardized classification system that categorizes goods based on their characteristics, such as density, stability, handling requirements, and liability. This classification helps determine the shipping rates and any additional accessories charges that may apply.
Capacity
And coverage
The specific load capacity of an LTL shipment can vary, but it typically ranges from around 150 pounds (68 kilograms) to 20,000 pounds (9,072 kilograms). Some carriers may have higher weight limits, allowing for shipments up to 30,000 pounds (13,608 kilograms) or more.

Partial truckload
Shipping benefits
Partial truckload, also known as «volume LTL,» is a freight transportation option suitable for sizable shipments that don’t necessitate a full truckload trailer.
Sitting between less than truckload (LTL) and full truckload (FTL), partial truckload is typically applicable to shipments exceeding 5,000 pounds or consisting of six or more pallets.

Depending on the season, certain carriers may be more advantageous than others. Our agents will provide recommendations for the optimal cargo transportation options.
To ensure accurate quoting and avoid unexpected charges and delays, it is crucial to confirm precise dimensions, weight, and commodity information when requesting a shipping quote. Estimations or inaccuracies in these details can lead to incorrect pricing and potential issues during the shipping process.
