LTL vs FTL Freight: Which Do You Need? | Alpha Trucking

Not sure whether LTL and FTL freight suits your shipment? Explore the key differences in cost, delivery & shipment requirements. Find the right option for your business. LTL stands for less-than-truckload. Your freight shares a trailer with other businesses’ consignments, and you pay only for the space you occupy. FTL stands for full truckload. You book the entire vehicle for your goods alone, and it travels directly from your dock to the destination without stopping at a depot.
