TruckLoad
FTL
FTL shipping involves an entire dedicated truck for your freight, typically for shipments of 10+ pallets or 15,000+ lbs, even if the truck isn't completely full.
The benefits of FTL include fast, direct delivery with less handling, ensuring the safety of your cargo, and providing you with control over the entire trailer space. It can also be more cost-effective for large shipments.
However, FTL is generally more expensive for smaller loads, as you are responsible for the cost of the entire truck.
Mustang Freight Solutions simplifies FTL by understanding your needs, finding the right truck, negotiating rates, and managing your shipment with reliable carriers from start to finish.
Less-than-Truckload
LTL
LTL shipping is for freight that doesn't fill an entire truck, typically ranging from 1 to 6 pallets and 150 to 15,000 pounds, where your goods are combined with other shipments.
A key benefit is cost efficiency, as you pay only for the space used, and many providers offer flexible services. However, transit times are usually longer due to consolidation, and there's more handling involved.
Pricing depends on weight, dimensions, freight class, and distance, and comparing quotes with FTL for larger LTL shipments always recommended.
Mustang Freight Solutions simplifies LTL: we analyze your needs, compare carrier rates, manage logistics, and optimize your freight for efficient, cost-effective shipping.
FTL vs. LTL
Full Truckload (FTL)
The entire trailer is filled with goods from the same shipper. Truckload shipping offers cost-effective savings for large shipments by maximizing the use of the full trailer space.
Less-than-Truckload (LTL)
The entire trailer is filled with pallets from individual shippers who pay for space based on their goods' dimensions. LTL shipping is often cost-effective for small shipments, but for larger sizes goods, FTL could be a better value; therefore, it's wise to get quotes for both.
A solution for unconventional dimensions and specialized freight.
These shipments will most likely require open deck trailers.
Some shipments are considered over-dimensional and overweight at the same time.
