What is an LTL Trucking Shipment?

Often the most tedious of all logistics formats, LTL (Less than Truckload) shipments involve smaller shipments of goods when a full dry van is not required. Standard LTL shipments range from 1-4 pallets, while “volume” LTL shipments are typically 5-10 pallets. Sometimes, based on the volume, product, or distance, larger LTL cargo may still ship as a dedicated truckload, even if the truck is not full. 

KC Smith Transport Inc has managed all LTL shipment formats, including expedited and guaranteed shipments, hotshots, blind/double-blind LTL services, and lift gates. Shipping with KC Smith Transport Inc is hassle-free due to our use of carriers’ PRO numbers to track shipments en-route.
