Full Truckload (FTL)

Full truckload shipping, or FTL for short, is a type of freight shipping in which one customer’s entire shipment takes up an entire truck. These loads can be shipped in containers capable of holding up to 43,000 pounds or 45 pallets of goods. The typical dimensions for full truckload shipments are 48 feet or 53 feet. 

This method is chosen for larger shipments that would require the use of multiple trucks with LTL shipping. It’s the most preferable method for transporting larger items like furniture, industrial equipment, and heavy machinery. With FTL, freight can reach its destination without the need to transfer between vehicles or carriers, and can also bring cost savings when compared to less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping. FTL also reduces waiting time since freight does not have to be constantly loaded and unloaded on multiple vehicles as it would with LTL.


With Fargo EXP, you can save time and money by taking advantage of our fast and reliable FTL freight transport. We get your shipments where they need to go  by leveraging our nationwide trucking network.


Benefits of Truckload Shipping

Speed

When it comes to moving your products safely, securely and quickly, truckload shipping is the key. Truckload shipping is faster than LTL (Less Than Load), since with LTL routes involve a number of different stops for dropping off and picking up freight. FTL ensures the truck is devoted just to your load which results in a shorter transit time

Less Handling

When your freight is the only one in the trailer, it means less loading and unloading, as well as no disruption of your packing by other merchants on its way to its destination. Not to mention that it reduces the chances of cargo damage, since it is likely only picked up once and dropped off once – with no disruption in-between. 

Cost-Efficiency

Typically, LTLs are the budget-friendliest option for shipping. However, depending on the size and weight of the load, FTL (Full Truckload) shipping can be more cost-effective in comparison. Splitting your shipment into multiple LTLs to carry a potentially single load is both time consuming and not cost efficient.
