A COMPARISON BETWEEN FTL FREIGHT
TRANSPORTATION AND LTL FREIGHT
TRANSPORTATION
• FTL freight transportation is the
best for large shipments as
compared to LTL freight
transportation. It is the correct
choice to go for when your
shipments need to fill the whole
trailer space. It is in a position of
holding shipments that exceed
15,000 pounds or those that
exceed ten pallets whereas the
LTL cannot exceed that.
• FTL freight transportation is
observed to be fast when
compared with the LTL freight
transportation. This is because no
unloading and reloading of the
shipments take place on the
way as compared to the LTL
transportation which makes a
number of stops on the way. This
explains the reason why the
transport time for the LTL is
observed to be longer. As a
result, FTL freight transportation is
said reliable and economical.
However, LTL can also be
observed to be cheap as it
charges low costs.
