LTL Freight

If you have a smaller shipment, LTL freight is likely the right option for your upcoming trip. This type of transportation, "less than a truckload," is precisely what the name suggests. As you think about your cargo, you may find that you don't need the space of an entire truck to complete the journey. So, consider this type of transport if you only need to ship between 150 to 10,000 pounds of cargo.

LTL freight differs from FTL, or "full truckload," since you can create a schedule that works for your needs. Plus, you can change course whenever needed, an incredibly valuable ability in an ever-changing marketplace. You can have goods already loaded and available without stockpiling in a warehouse. As a result, your customers can expect shipments on a more regular basis.

Speaking of warehouse stockpiling, avoiding this practice can also help your bottom line. Without retaining a surplus of inventory, you won't have to factor that into the cost of the trip. This makes the entire experience more cost-effective for both you and your clients.

Of course, LTL shipping also comes with many other benefits, such as diversified delivery areas. If you're thinking about embarking on an upcoming trip, don't hesitate to speak with one of our experienced specialists.

Multimodal Transport

Now, if you need to move cargo via plane (air), train (rail), truck (road), or ship (sea), consider learning more about multimodal transportation. This is an excellent option if you plan on moving your shipment with at least two different types of carriers. Even in a case like this, you can always expect simplicity and a hassle-free experience because you will only have to deal with one tracking number, which will be preserved between carriers.

On top of the benefit, as mentioned earlier, multimodal transportation also ensures that if you encounter a problem along the way that a designated carrier will handle it. Having several redundant layers of cargo carriers ensures that your cargo will promptly make it to its final destination in one piece.
