Frequently Asked Questions
Less-than-truckload or LTL shipping refers to shipments weighing over 100 pounds that are too heavy for a parcel carrier but not large enough to require a full truckload. One trailer usually carries multiple businesses’ freight with commodities often arranged on pallets. Pricing is based on density, stowability, handling, and liability.
- Step one – Quote the correct size of your shipment: It’s necessary to list the correct size of the freight to make sure it’s matched with a trailer that has capacity.
- Step two – Define the right National Motor Freight Carrier (NMFC) class: Defining the correct NMFC shipment class is needed to properly load the trailer and keep cargo safe.
- Step three – Manage shipments with our transportation management system (TMS): Quote and book LTL shipments, track the progress of each load, view analytics for cost, and much more with GLI+.
