Less-than-Truckload (LTL)

Ship smaller quantities without booking an entire trailer.

Request an LTL Quote

With LTL, your freight shares trailer space with other shipments, so you can ship smaller quantities without booking an entire trailer. Each quotation depends on the shipment and the services it needs.

How we help

  1. Review your handling units

    We go through packaged dimensions, weights, count and whether the freight can stack.

  2. Work through classification

    If you do not know your freight class, tell us. You do not need it to contact us.

  3. Review location needs

    We confirm location types, liftgate, inside service and appointment needs.

  4. Send a tailored quotation

    Dan and Linda review the details and follow up.

What shapes an LTL quote

Size and weight

Packaged dimensions, weight and density affect how much space and handling the freight needs.

Commodity and classification

What the freight is, how it is packaged and how it is described on the bill of lading all matter.

Stacking

Freight that cannot have anything loaded on top can take up more trailer space.

Lane

Origin and destination postal codes and countries affect carrier options and transit.

Location type

Residential and limited-access locations can have added requirements or charges.

Added services

Liftgate, inside service, appointments and notification can each add to the cost.
