Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) Shipping

What Is Less-Than-Truckload Shipping?

Less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping refers to the transportation of goods that don’t fill an entire 24ft or 26ft box truck trailer.

Renting a full box truck isn’t always feasible or cost-effective for every shipment. When you discuss your needs with D&M Truck, we’ll ask about the dimensions, weight, and fragility of your load. Based on this information, we may recommend LTL shipping.

Why Choose LTL with D&M Truck?

When you book our less than a truckload shipping service, your goods are shipped in a shared, consolidated trailer, ensuring on-time shipment delivery without the wait for a full load. 

This option is particularly beneficial for small businesses as it allows you to pay only for the space you need, significantly reducing shipping costs. Shipping only a partial load with D&M Truck is one of the small business shipping tips from which your company could benefit.

Personal shipments also often qualify for LTL shipping. With our box trucks offering at least 1,400 cubic feet of space, you can avoid overpaying for empty space associated with a full truckload. Be sure to share your shipment’s size during your initial consultation with our team so we can help you find the most cost-effective solution.
