Benefits of TL shipping
- Faster transit times: Full truckload generally arrive at their destination quicker than goods that are shipped via LTL’s hub-and-spoke model. Basically TL is a dock to dock service.
- Less chance of damage: Full truckload shipments are typically less susceptible to damages as they are less touch points than LTL shipments.
- Rates: If shipments are large enough by skid count or weight to require the entire use of a trailer’s space, it could be more cost effective than booking multiple LTL shipments.
