LTL Shipping Services
Less than truckload freight shipping offers a cost-effective and reliable way to transport smaller volume shipments. This shipment method is commonly used when transporting cargo that weighs over 150 pounds but less than 10,000 pounds. The freight is palletized and only takes up a portion of space within the truck.
With LTL freight pallet shipping, shippers will pay for a portion of the truck’s space since they aren’t using up the entire truck. This makes LTL a cost-effective method for shipping smaller-sized loads. You’ll only pay for the space you use, while other shipments will fill up the empty space. No matter what kinds of goods you need to ship, LTL offers a reliable and efficient way to get your load to the final destination.
FTL Freight Shipping
Unlike LTL, full truckload shipping uses the entire space or weight limit of the truck. This is a common transportation method in industries like manufacturing, construction, e-commerce and agriculture. Because it requires the full capacity, FTL transportation is used for large shipments and high-volume loads.
With this shipping method, you can feel confident knowing your goods will be the only thing on the truck. You won’t have to worry about your load being stored with other items or changing hands multiple times throughout the process. You’ll often experience more flexibility with your shipment and enjoy a more efficient transportation process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about freight shipping solutions are common. At Phoenix Logistics, we’re always happy to answer your questions in any way we can.
Heavy haul freight refers to a shipment that exceeds a particular weight limit. This limit can vary depending on local laws and the nature of the goods. Over-dimensional freight is a shipment that exceeds a particular size.
Some shipments can be defined as both heavy haul and over-dimensional, which requires additional planning to ensure the freight is transported with both size and weight limitations in mind.
The length of time that a rate will remain valid for will vary from one carrier to the next, which is why we always recommend locking in your rate as soon as possible.
The main factors that affect freight shipping costs include:
- Distance: The further the shipment needs to travel, the higher the cost is likely to be due to fuel consumption, equipment usage and personnel wages.
- Weight and dimensions: The larger and heavier your shipment is, the higher the shipping costs will be. Freight class, space occupied and the weight are the key considerations.
- Service type: Expedited delivery services will cost more than standard freight shipping services.
- Fuel surcharges: Some carriers may apply a fuel surcharge to compensate for fluctuating fuel prices.
- Special handling requirements: Freight that must be shipped under particular conditions, such as at a particular temperature or with additional security measures, can increase the costs of planning, equipment and manpower.
