Carriers who effectively leverage transportation management technology to watch all aspects of their LTL shipping process have a better probability of getting products from point A to point B on time and undamaged.

The best LTL carriers will use transportation management techniques like pooling, shipment aggregation, and cross-docking to consolidate shipments and efficiently get them to their destination.

Difference between FTL and LTL Transportation

Full Truck Load (FTL) means you have had products to fill any specific-sized Truck. A dedicated truck is preferred for a partial load as per customer requirements due to size, safety & security, and traveling time considerations.

The opposite of a Full Truck Load (FTL) is less than the Truck Load (LTL). It’s important to understand the differences between Full Truckload (FTL) service and Less Than Truckload (LTL) service because of size, speed, and price when deciding between an FTL versus LTL.

FTL is profitable to the customer because it is cheaper and faster than any other shipping service. FTL or the containers, once loaded, stop only at the destination. There are no chances of mix-ups, fewer chances of breakage, and less travel timing because of the single-customer policy.

Delivery can be made to multiple stops if the customer has a retail chain. It is ideal for large loads with special provisions for loading and unloading. These special features make FTL a perfect fit for customers for the transportation of heavy goods in India as well as in Nepal & Bhutan.

Bulk Cargo Transportation

Bulk Cargo Transportation, is the transport of goods in heavy quantities, where the truck itself acts as a container or it may be a container. The measurement of the cargo distinguishes itself between general cargo and bulk cargo.

Bulk cargo product types are further divided into two types i.e. Solid and Liquid. Both of these types of products require a different kind of bulk cargo transport and their handling is also different. Liquid Bulk Cargo like oil, gas, water, etc., is transported by land as well as by water. This is because of the efficiency of FTL Transportation.
