FAQ

Everything You Need to Know About LTL Shipping. Get quick answers to the most common questions about Less Than Truckload freight—from safety and equipment to pricing and benefits.

What is LTL shipping?

LTL shipping allows you to pay only for the portion of the truck your freight occupies, sharing trailer space with other shipments headed along the same route. This cost-effective option helps businesses ship smaller loads without paying for an entire truck.

LTL ships smaller loads combined with other shipments, while FTL (Full Truckload) dedicates the entire truck to one shipment. LTL is cost-effective for smaller shipments; FTL is faster and better for large or time-sensitive loads.

Yes! While there is an increased risk of damage as the freight can be handled multiple times, drivers ensure trailers are evenly loaded and proper equipment is used to avoid damages. For fragile goods or high-value commodities, it’s recommended to look into dedicated trucking options or book a larger portion of the truck to ensure the freight is not stacked or touching other freight. An account manager can discuss options that best suit your freight.

LTL shipments typically use dry vans, refrigerated trucks, or flatbeds depending on the freight type. Dry vans are the most common for general goods. However, there are more options!

LTL shipping is cost-effective, flexible, and environmentally friendly. It allows businesses to ship goods more frequently without waiting to fill an entire truck, and offers access to a wide carrier network with more frequent availability. 

Pricing depends on shipment size, weight, distance, freight class, and any additional services like liftgate, appointments, driver assist, or residential delivery.

Yes, LTL can accommodate hazardous materials, but only certain classes are permitted to move together due to safety regulations. To determine if your specific class and UN number can be shipped as part of a partial load, it’s best to consult with an account manager who can guide you through the available options.

LTL transit times can vary depending on the pickup and delivery locations, as well as the volume of freight being moved. Your account manager will work with you to find the most efficient option to meet your delivery timeline and provide updates every step of the way.

Package your items securely on pallets or in crates, label all shipments clearly, and provide accurate documentation including weight and dimensions.

Yes, your shipment is tracked by a real person—your dedicated account manager. From pickup to delivery, they monitor your freight and keep you updated throughout the entire process. You can reach out anytime with questions or concerns, and you’ll always speak with the same person who knows your shipment inside and out.

Many industries rely on LTL freight, including manufacturing, retail, construction, healthcare, food and beverage, and eCommerce. Businesses that ship smaller, frequent loads benefit most from less than truckload shipping due to its flexibility and cost efficiency. To get more details, request a quote today!

Yes! Titan Transline provides temperature controlled LTL shipping for freight that requires climate stability during transit. This service is ideal for food products, pharmaceuticals, and other temperature-sensitive goods that don’t require a full truckload.

While carrier liability coverage is included, additional freight insurance is recommended for higher-value LTL freight shipments. Titan Transline can help you determine the appropriate level of coverage for your shipment.

LTL shipment limits are typically determined by the amount of trailer space your freight occupies and the type of equipment used, rather than weight alone. For example, a standard LTL skid space on a dry van usually accommodates up to approximately 1,500 lbs per spot. In some cases—such as deck or open-deck freight—you may occupy a large portion of the trailer, even up to three-quarters of the available space, while still sharing the load with other shipments and benefiting from reduced shipping costs. Titan Transline can help determine whether your freight qualifies as LTL or if another shipping method would be more suitable. Contact us for additional queries!
