What is Full Truckload (FTL) Transport?
Full truckload transport is a type of transportation mode where freight weighing greater than 20,000 pounds is transported in a fully loaded 48- to 53- ft trailer. When business entities need to transport products in large and excessive quantities, choosing FTL shipping and transport usually is the best cost-effective option.
Henry and Henry Logistics provides consistent and reliable FTL transportation service, with a specialization in transporting pharmaceutical and other refrigerated goods and products. These products usually require careful storage and handling, as well as competent transport.
How does FTL Transport Work?
Full truckload transport begins when a customer, whether a shipper or freight forwarder, requires transportation for their 20,000 lbs. or more in weighted cargo, books the services of a trucking company.
When the semi-trailer arrives at the shipper’s location, the freight is usually fully loaded into a 48- to 53- ft trailer, and is then safely transported to the destination. This is often designated by the shipper on the bill of lading paperwork the truck driver receives when he picks up the load.
At the final point of delivery, the cargo is finally unloaded with safe and cautionary measures to maintain the integrity of the freight.
Why choose FTL Transport?
Henry and Henry Logistics fulfills FTL orders through contracting our network of highly trained drivers and competent equipment. If the shipment or cargo to be transported is large in size or is going across the country, FTL transport is usually the preferred choice.
Unlike less-than truckload (LTL), which is usually
transported for shorter distances and usually includes cargo weighing less that 20,000 pounds, FTL trucking makes fewer stops en route, and the cargo safely remains on truck throughout the entirety of the supply chain delivery process.
