Less-than-truckload, or LTL, shipments are done for loads that are too large to mail, but too small to fill an entire truck. LTL loads have lower freight costs than full-truckloads but can take longer to ship, especially if the carrier has multiple ship-to destinations. Shippers often struggle to navigate LTL freight, putting their products at-risk for missing delivery deadlines. We can help.
LTL shipping allows multiple shippers to share space on the same truck. This is an effective solution for shippers who have small skid orders and for those who do not want to pay for a full truck for their freight.
We provide proper and complete order details, which is essential when working with an LTL provider. Errors in paperwork or holes in information can lead to delays and costly reconfigurations.
A&K Transport helps LTL customers ensure proper details are included and that there are no gaps in partner communication. While more complicated than full-truckload shipping methods, transporting product with an LTL carrier can add up to significant savings along your supply chain.
