Full truckload (FTL) refers to the transportation of large quantities of goods that fill an entire trailer or truck. FTL shipments are typically larger and more cost-effective than less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments, which involve the transportation of smaller quantities of goods that share space on a trailer or truck with other shipments. In FTL shipping, the entire trailer or truck is dedicated to the transportation of a single customer’s goods, and the customer is typically responsible for the entire cost of the shipment. FTL is often used for the transportation of bulk goods, raw materials, and other large or heavy items.
