Partial Truckload (PTL) Shipping Services

When your shipment is too large for Less Than Truckload (LTL) but doesn’t require a full truck, Partial Truckload (PTL) shipping is the perfect solution. PTL allows you to share a portion of the truck with other cargo, making it a cost-efficient and practical option for mid-sized shipments.

Reduce Shipping Costs

Maximize your budget by only paying for the truck space you use, sharing the load with other shipments to cut costs without compromising service quality.

Versatile Shipping Solutions

Adaptable scheduling and shipment sizes ensure your logistics remain flexible, accommodating mid-sized loads that need more space than LTL but not a full truck.

Efficient for Larger Shipments

Ideal for larger shipments that don’t fill an entire truck, PTL offers faster transit and fewer handling stops, minimizing delays and optimizing delivery time.

Efficient and Cost-Effective Shipping Solutions for Your Business

Partial Truckload (PTL) shipping offers a flexible freight transportation option where shipments from multiple customers are combined to fill a portion of the truck. This service is ideal for businesses with shipments that exceed LTL limits but don’t require the use of an entire truck, striking the perfect balance between cost and capacity.

Why Choose Partial Truckload (PTL)?

Cost-Effective: Share truck space with other shippers, reducing your costs while benefiting from dedicated space for larger loads.
Flexible Shipping: Transport mid-sized shipments more frequently without waiting to fill a full truck, ensuring your supply chain remains responsive.
Minimized Handling: Fewer stops and transfers compared to LTL shipping mean reduced handling of your goods, leading to faster delivery and better protection in transit.
