1) Only Pay for Cargo Space You Need

The main difference between Less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping and Full Truckload (FTL) shipping is that you share the truck trailer space with other shippers in LTL whereas the entire trailer space is reserved for only you in FTL shipping. This means that you only pay for the amount of space your cargo takes up in LTL shipping instead of wasting money on half-filled FTL trailers.

2) Trim Your Warehouse Costs

You can also reduce your warehouse costs when using LTL shipping as more frequent shipments can be sent. This in turn reduces the need for stockpiling inventory in the warehouse at one time. A decrease in warehouse requirements and labour handling helps reduce your monthly costs.

3) Professional Expertise and Support

Using LTL shippers gives you access to the knowledge and support of the trucking company, especially when they have full access to ports/rails and also provide sufferance bonded warehouses services. This one-stop-shop solution helps increase efficiency and reduce extra handling from multiple companies.

4) Reduce Your Environmental Impact

Sharing truck trailer space with other shippers helps in lowering your company’s carbon footprint at the same time.

5) Great Flexibility

LTL shipping allows you to separate your products and transport them to multiple locations throughout the province and Canada. Goods will reach their destination faster and hence increase efficiency.

6) Quicker Delivery Times

Although LTL shipping involves multiple stops, it may be a faster delivery method as you don’t have to wait for enough customer orders to fill an entire truck. Paying only for the space you use in LTL services allows for the shipping of products as orders come in.

7) Enhanced Security and Tracking

The security of your shipment is extremely important and trucking companies ensure that your cargo is safe until it reaches its destination by securing and locking goods to reduce the risk of theft or loss. You’ll also be able to keep an eye on the progress of your shipment through real-time tracking systems.
