What is LTL Shipping and how does it work?

Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) shipping allows multiple businesses to share space on a truck, making it a cost-effective option for shipments that don’t require a full trailer. At Bambara Logistics, we optimize LTL routes to minimize transport time and keep deliveries efficient.

Definitions for Box Truck Freight Services

Less-Than-Truckload (LTL):
A shipping method where multiple shippers share space in a single box truck, each paying only for the portion of the truck they use. LTL is cost-effective for smaller freight loads that do not require a full truck and allows for more frequent deliveries.

LTL

Partial Truckload:
A shipment that takes up more space than an LTL load but does not require a full box 
truck. PTL typically involves fewer stops than LTL, reducing handling and transit time while still optimizing truck space.

Partial Truckload

Last Mile / Final Mile: 
The final step in the shipping process, where freight is transported from a local distribution center or hub to its final destination, such as a business or residential address. Box trucks are commonly used for last-mile deliveries due to their maneuverability in urban and suburban areas.

Last Mile / Final Mile

Re-Delivery Cross Docking:
A logistics practice where inbound freight is unloaded from one truck and directly loaded onto another with minimal storage time. This process reduces handling and speeds up delivery by eliminating the need for long-term warehousing.

Cross Docking

Hot Shot Delivery:
A fast, on-demand freight service designed for urgent shipments that require immediate transport. Box truck hot shot deliveries are ideal for time-sensitive loads that need to be delivered quickly without waiting for standard shipping schedules.
