Part Truck Load (PTL) is a shared logistics solution where cargo from multiple customers is consolidated into a single truck. Unlike Full Truck Load (FTL), you only pay for the space or weight your shipment occupies—making it a cost-effective choice for medium-sized loads that don’t require an entire truck.PTL is ideal for businesses that need flexible, affordable shipping without compromising reliability. Shipments are collected from multiple locations, consolidated at a hub, and efficiently routed to their destinations.
Full Truck Load (FTL) shipping provides exclusive, end-to-end transportation solutions for businesses with large-volume shipments. By dedicating an entire truck to a single customer's cargo, FTL ensures faster transit times, enhanced security, and greater operational efficiency. This shipping method eliminates intermediate stops, reducing handling risks and delivery delays while offering flexible scheduling options.
Key features visible in this interface:
PTL shipping delivers significant cost savings by charging only for the pallet/space used (30-50% cheaper than FTL), while its hub-and-spoke model maximizes route efficiency through optimized multi-stop deliveries.
