Full truckload (FTL) shipping is a type of trucking service where a truck is used to transport a single customer's cargo and the entire truck is dedicated to the transport of that cargo. This means that the entire truck is filled with cargo that belongs to one shipper, and the truck makes no other pickups or deliveries during the transport. This type of shipping is typically used for larger shipments or when the cargo is time-sensitive or perishable. It offers more control over the cargo and the delivery schedule, and it is typically more cost-effective for larger shipments than less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping.
