FTL, or Full Truck Load, refers to when a shipper hires an entire truck to transport a single shipment directly from pickup to delivery. This option is ideal for time-sensitive loads and larger shipments, or those needing special handling such as oversized or overweight items.
LTL, or Less Than Truckload, involves multiple shippers sharing space on a single truck to transport their smaller shipments. It’s a great option for smaller loads, offering cost savings especially when there’s flexibility with delivery times.
Hotshot services cater to cargo of any size, typically for shorter distances, with an urgent delivery requirement either immediately or within a specified timeframe. It’s also well-suited for shipments needing specialized handling or in situations such as white glove services or plant downtimes.
Container Drayage and Destuffing services include collection of containers from ocean ports and rail heads for movement direct to customers faciliities or to our warehouse for unloading before delivery. Once containers are empty we work with our customers to ensure the prompt return of empty containers back to rail head or port within free time allowance.
Intermodal transportation integrates road and rail for shipments covering long distances.
The primary motivation behind this method is to lower freight costs, though it frequently results in a longer transit time.
