One truck, no terminals
Your freight loads once and rides to delivery. No cross-dock handoffs, which is where LTL freight gets damaged, delayed, and lost.
Partial truckload
Partial Truckload Shipping
Too big to ship as LTL without getting punished. Not enough to fill a trailer.
Six to eighteen feet of trailer is freight's dead zone: standard LTL reclasses it and cross-docks it, and full truckload charges you for air. A partial puts it on one truck, priced for the space and weight it actually uses.
The middle-size sweet spot
One truck, fewer touches, no freight-class games
Partial truckload rides the truckload network, not the LTL terminal network. That one difference is where the savings and the safety come from.
Priced on space and weight
No freight class, no density math, no reweigh-and-reclass bill showing up weeks later. The price you approve is built on the room your freight takes up.
Partial vs. volume LTL, quoted straight
Sometimes volume LTL genuinely wins on price. We quote both, tell you the damage-risk tradeoff, and let you pick.
A person on the load
One named contact who knows your freight, tracking on every load, and a call about a delay before you have to ask.
Is your freight a partial?
The six-to-eighteen-foot question
Roughly six to twelve pallets, or five to twenty-five thousand pounds. If you are shipping pallets out one LTL shipment at a time, or paying full-truckload rates for half a trailer, this is usually the cheaper, safer answer.
One customer was shipping pallets out one at a time. Consolidating their freight saved them $800 per shipment.
