Service Overview

Full Truck Load (FTL) service refers to a mode of freight transportation where an entire truck is dedicated to transporting goods for a single customer. This means that the entire capacity of the truck is utilized by one shipment, whether it's a full load of goods from a single origin to a single destination or several shipments consolidated into one truck.

The service of Full Truck Load (FTL) involves transporting goods using an entire truck dedicated to a single customer's shipment. Here are some key aspects of FTL service:

Exclusive Use: In FTL shipping, the entire truck space is reserved for the goods of one customer. This ensures that the shipment is not combined with other customers' goods, minimizing handling and potential risks associated with transfers.

Direct Transit: FTL shipments typically move directly from the point of origin to the final destination without intermediate stops for other pickups or deliveries along the route. This can result in faster transit times compared to less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments.

Capacity: FTL service is ideal for shipments that require the entire capacity of a truck, whether it's due to the volume of goods, the need for secure transportation, or specific handling requirements.

Flexibility: Customers have more control over scheduling and routing with FTL shipments. They can specify pickup and delivery times that suit their operational needs, and trucks can often be dispatched according to their specific requirements.

Cost Efficiency: While FTL shipments can be more expensive on a per-mile basis compared to LTL shipments, they can be cost-effective for large volumes of goods or shipments that require expedited delivery. This is because the cost per unit weight decreases with larger shipments.

Security: Because the goods stay in the same truck from origin to destination, there's generally less risk of damage or loss compared to shipments that require transfers between different vehicles or warehouses.

Documentation: FTL carriers provide detailed documentation services, allowing customers to monitor the status of their shipment throughout transit.
