- Your shipment fills most of a trailer by space or weight
- You want your freight on its own trailer, with no sharing or terminal handling
- Pickup and delivery windows are tight

Common questions
There is no single cutoff. A load is generally treated as a full truckload when it fills most of a trailer by space or weight, or when you want the trailer dedicated to your freight. Tell us the pallet count, weight and dimensions and we will advise whether full truckload or LTL fits.
Full truckload (FTL) uses a trailer for one shipper's freight, usually a direct move from pickup to delivery. Less-than-truckload (LTL) shares trailer space with other shippers' freight and is typically priced by weight and freight class, which suits smaller shipments.
We tell you in writing before a load is booked how it will be handled, so you always know who is responsible for your freight.
As early as you can. More notice gives us more options for equipment and pickup windows. For short-notice requests, contact us with the details and we will tell you whether we can cover it.
