Full truckload, commonly referred to as FTL, is a type of shipping mode whereby a truck carries one dedicated shipment. In other words, the journey is reserved for one shipment only.
Less than truckload, commonly referred to as LTL, is a type of shipping mode whereby a truck is available to carry more than one shipment.
An oversize/overweight load is considered when shipment surpasses the Legal dimensions or weight allowed by DOT regulations.
Partial truckload is that sweet spot between less than truckload (LTL) and full truckload. When your shipment is too big for LTL but too small to fill a full truckload, chances are you’ve got a perfect partial truckload shipment on your hands.
This are loads in the USA going in to Mexico.
