Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) Freight Shipping

LTL freight changes hands at every terminal, and that's usually where the updates stop. Fello coordinates LTL nationwide with daily tracking and a person who tells you about a delay before you find it yourself.

LTL shipping, watched properly

Smaller shipments with bigger support

Whether the goal is saving money or hitting a hard delivery window, we quote your options straight, including box trucks and partial truckloads when they beat standard LTL.

Your own customer portal

Quote, book, track, and pull documents from one login. Self-serve when you want to, and never dig through email for a POD or a status.

Liftgate, residential, and limited-access, up front

No dock, a home address, or a site the carrier calls limited-access (schools, farms, construction sites, storage yards) all add accessorials after the fact when they aren't declared. We book the liftgate, the surcharge, and the delivery appointment up front, so nothing bounces at the curb or surprises your invoice.

Volume LTL vs. partial, matched to the load

Sometimes standard LTL is the wrong tool. When your shipment lands in the six-to-eighteen-foot dead zone, we price it as a partial on one truck (fewer terminal handoffs, less damage) or as volume LTL, whichever actually wins on cost and risk, and let you pick.

One point of contact, watching every cross-dock

You get one named rep who knows your freight, not a ticket queue. LTL rides a hub-and-spoke network and gets cross-docked two or more times, and every handoff is a place updates can stop. Your rep checks each terminal handoff and calls when your freight sits.

Smaller equipment, matched to the load

When a full trailer is the wrong tool

Some freight is too small, too urgent, or too specific for a standard LTL run. When it is, we put it on the right equipment instead.

Box Truck

A few pallets, a liftgate, and a stop with no dock. Too big for parcel, too small for a full trailer.

How we handle it
Why Fello for LTL

LTL freight goes wrong at the handoffs, so that's where we watch

Less-than-truckload freight moves through more hands and more stops than a full truckload, so it needs a partner who watches every leg. The accessorials, the terminal handoffs, and the claims are where LTL bills and delays actually come from, so that is where we work. We pick the carriers carefully and keep one point of contact on every shipment, so your smaller loads get the same attention as your largest.

One customer was shipping pallets out one at a time. Consolidating their freight saved them $800 per shipment.
