What is full truckload shipping?

Full truckload shipping gives one shipment dedicated use of a trailer. FTL is commonly used for larger shipments, freight requiring reduced handling, time-sensitive loads and shipments that benefit from direct origin-to-destination transportation.

As a Las Vegas transportation management company, Logistics Xpress sources capacity, coordinates appointments, monitors milestones and manages exceptions so manufacturers and commercial shippers have one accountable team for truckload freight.

When should you use FTL?

FTL is a strong fit for larger pallet counts, dedicated capacity needs, reduced handling, appointment-sensitive freight, high-value freight, recurring lanes and shipments with specific equipment requirements.

When freight sits between traditional LTL and a full trailer, comparevolume LTL and partial truckload before defaulting to either shared or dedicated capacity.

What determines FTL rates?

FTL rates are influenced by mileage, lane balance, equipment, carrier availability, fuel, seasonality, appointment requirements and current market conditions.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is FTL shipping?

FTL, or full truckload shipping, gives one shipment dedicated use of a trailer. It is commonly used for larger shipments, reduced-handling freight, time-sensitive loads and direct origin-to-destination moves.

When should I use FTL instead of LTL?

Use FTL when freight needs dedicated capacity, reduced handling, appointment-sensitive timing, specific equipment or when pallet count, weight or trailer space makes shared-capacity options less efficient.

How are FTL rates calculated?

FTL rates are influenced by mileage, lane balance, equipment, carrier availability, fuel, seasonality, appointment requirements and current market conditions. Exact pricing depends on the shipment and lane.

What equipment can Logistics Xpress coordinate?

Logistics Xpress coordinates dry van, refrigerated, flatbed, conestoga and specialized equipment based on commodity, loading method and delivery requirements.

Can Logistics Xpress manage recurring truckload lanes?

Yes. Logistics Xpress manages spot truckload, recurring lanes and lane-specific programs with one transportation team accountable from quote through delivery.

Does FTL involve terminal transfers?

Dedicated full truckload moves are typically planned as direct origin-to-destination transportation without LTL-style terminal transfers, which can reduce handling for larger or sensitive freight.
