A full truck is overkill
Booking a 53 ft trailer for two or three pallets means paying for a whole truck you barely fill. The math never works, and standard LTL can send your freight bouncing through terminals it does not need to see.

Box Truck Freight Delivery
Too big for parcel, too small for a full trailer.
When your freight is a handful of pallets headed somewhere without a dock, a 53 ft trailer is the wrong tool. Fello puts it on a box truck, with a liftgate at the curb and a person watching the whole way.
The problem
Your freight is stuck between two bad options
It is a few pallets. That is too much for parcel and nowhere near enough for a full truckload, so you end up paying for space you do not use or fighting a delivery that has no dock to back into.
The destination has no dock
Retail replenishment, a jobsite, a residential address. A lot of your stops have no dock and no forklift. Freight shows up, and there is no way to get it off a standard trailer without a scene at the curb.
The address is tight and urban
A narrow street, a downtown loading zone, a store with a side door. A big rig cannot get in, and when it tries, your delivery window slips while the driver looks for somewhere to park.
And nobody tells you where it is
On smaller loads, communication is usually the first thing to slip. Your freight moves, and you are left guessing at the timing while a store manager or a receiver waits on you.
How Fello handles it
The right truck for a few pallets, delivered to the curb
Box trucks run 24 to 26 feet, big enough to carry a few pallets of retail stock, furniture, fixtures, or equipment, and small enough to reach the places a full trailer cannot. We match your freight to the truck, book the liftgate up front, and keep a person on the load so you are never guessing where it is.
You get the reach of a smaller truck without giving up the tracking and communication you would expect on your largest shipments.
- A 24 to 26 ft box truck sized to a few pallets, so you stop paying for empty trailer space
- Liftgate delivery booked up front for no-dock, residential, and tight urban stops
- Direct routing that skips the terminal handoffs standard LTL adds
- Delivery appointments confirmed so nothing bounces at the curb
- Across all shipments, updated quarterly, 98.5% of pickups and 98.6% of deliveries land on time Last updated 06/30/2026
- Tracking where the carrier runs it, with a person who flags a delay before you ask
The Worry-Free Standard
What you get on every box truck load
Smaller freight is usually where updates stop first. We hold the same standard on a two-pallet box truck run that we hold on a full truckload, so the size of the load never decides how much attention it gets.
- Multiple ETA updates on every load, every day.
- Your driver on the phone, multiple times a day.
- Tracking where the carrier provides it, and a person watching the load either way.
- A real person reachable 24/7, nights and weekends included.
- If a load runs late, you hear it from us first, with a plan to fix it.
More small freight modes
Not sure a box truck is the right fit
Box truck is one of a few ways we move small and expedited freight. If your shipment is more urgent, or heavier and more awkward, another mode may fit better.
LTL freight
The hub for smaller shipments, where we quote box trucks, partials, and standard LTL side by side and let you pick the one that fits.
