What is FTL?

FTL stands for full truckload. It’s when your shipment, as the name suggests, is large enough to fill a truck. This means your cargo won’t be consolidated with other shipments from other customers.

​

At the origin location, the truck is filled as much as possible, ensuring the best utilization of space. It’s driven directly to the destination location where your cargo is offloaded to your desired consignee. While this is the most common flow, there are variations based on your needs that carriers can cater for, such as multi-stop deliveries.

​

What are some of the pros and cons of FTL?

​

Advantages of FTL:

• Transit time: Because the truck is dedicated to your cargo alone, there’s no need to make stops to consolidate other shipments. This can translate into faster transit times.

​

Disadvantages of FTL:

• Optimization: If you're buying a full truckload, it's up to you to make the most of it. So, if you can't fully utilize the space, your unit costs might increase. This becomes the trade-off between FTL and LTL.
