FTL (Full Truckload) shipping for larger shipments.

FTL shipping refers to the transportation of goods using a full truckload. This means that the entire truck is dedicated to the shipment and is not shared with other shipments. It is generally used for larger shipments, typically over 10,000 pounds, and is typically more cost-effective than less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping for these types of shipments.

FTL shipping can be either dry van (enclosed trailer) or flatbed (open trailer). Dry van is typically used for shipping goods that need to be protected from the elements, such as electronics or clothing. Flatbed is typically used for larger, bulkier items that cannot fit in a dry van, such as construction equipment or heavy machinery.

FTL shipping can be either scheduled or on-demand. Scheduled FTL shipping is when the shipment is planned in advance and the truck is scheduled to pick up and deliver the goods at a specific time. On-demand FTL shipping is when the shipment is not planned in advance and the truck is available to pick up and deliver the goods as soon as possible.

Overall, FTL shipping is a good option for larger shipments that need to be transported quickly and efficiently. It is generally more cost-effective than LTL shipping for these types of shipments and provides more flexibility in terms of scheduling and delivery times.
