Full Truckload (FTL)

FTL shipping stands for full truckload, this means that the shipment of freight will take up the entire cargo space itself. You use FTL when you need to ship ten or more pallets of cargo or over 15,000 lbs. Smaller shipments could also benefit from full truckload shipping, where shipment is high risk, needs to arrive sooner, or is fragile. FTL shipments stay on the same truck the entire duration of travel; your freight isn’t transferred from truck to truck during transport, so there’s less risk of damage. It’s also quicker than LTL shipping.

Less Than Truckload (LTL)

LTL or Less Than Truckload shipping is ideal for transporting relatively small freight. This freight weighs 100 to 15,000 lbs. LTL can cost more than FTL, but if you won’t use a full truckload, LTL is the best option. For your products and LTL shipments, you won’t have to wait for a full truckload worth of products to ship, and this is important if you have time-sensitive product and goods deliveries. This is where TKO Logistics identifies your shipping needs and matches you with an LTL carrier that best suits your time frame and your goals.

Intermodal

Intermodal freight transportation is the use of two modes of freight to transport your goods or products. An example of intermodal would be a truck delivering your products to the rail. Then the railway transports your products to their next or final destination. Using intermodal for transporting your goods and products comes with multiple benefits, including lower costs because of the railway system requiring less fuel to transport your goods. With the railways in North America, it is possible to ship goods from the East to the West Coast.
