Is FTL cheaper than LTL?
Since LTL shipments are smaller and leave room for other shipments, they are cheaper because you will only pay for the space that you use. FTL shipments use most of the entire truck and cost more because you are paying for more space in the truck.
What weight is considered FTL?
An FTL freight load cannot exceed 80,000 pounds without special permits. If you have a product that is particularly dense, you will notice extra space, but you will still have to abide by the weight maximums. Most standard 53′ trailers will allow for about 42,000 to 45,000 pounds of cargo.
