Less Than Truckload (LTL)

Choose Less Than Truckload (LTL) to ship your goods efficiently, even when you don’t have a full truck to fill. Superior will help you through every step of the process.

What are less than truckload (LTL)
and full truckload (TL)?

Truckload and less than truckload are both excellent options, but what are they? The transport of freight that does not require the entire space of a truck is also known as less than truckload (LTL) shipping, whereas full truckload (TL) shipments take up the space or weight limit of an entire trailer. Depending on your specific freight requirements, one option is likely better suited than the other.

    • "Your TMS is set up very well and is really easy to navigate. Now that I am doing more shipments it’s faster than what I had to work with before. The account management team really likes the emails with the tracking link. It’s already reduced the number of phone calls I have to deal with about the whereabouts of our customer's shipments. Even with this short amount of time working with you and your team I believe I made a good choice for price, productivity, the reporting tools, and the people I have worked with so far."
