FTL (Full Truck Load)

FTL, also referred to as Full Truck Load, is a standardized form of bulk freight shipment in which a single delivery vehicle (i.e. truck) carries one full load from one origin to one destination. This mode of transport is advantageous for businesses looking to reduce the costs associated with managing multiple individual shipments while minimizing storage and labor costs related to individual shipments. FTL can also help improve supply chain efficiency through reduced transit times and improved customer service levels.
