Truckload Freight Delivery to Gaylord, (MI)

The acronyms for full truckload and less-than-truckload shipping are easily confused when you hear them while trying to identify which one is suitable for your unique needs. Goods are transported via truckload (TL or FTL) and LTL in the freight business.

Your shipment's weight and size are two of the most important factors to consider when deciding on the best transportation option.

Thanks to tracking technologies, shippers can trace their freight at every stage of their trip. When using a TMS (transportation management system), you can have access to tracking and tracing capabilities. 

Using this technology, you can monitor transportation costs, carrier performance, and market trends as you manage your supply chain. Supply chain management relies heavily on tracking shipments.

As the name suggests, LTL or less-than-truckload shipping means that the freight carried by truck in this method of transport is less as compated to a full truckload. This is ideal for small businesses and those that don’t have large volumes of merchandise but still require shipping and transport. Many small businesses benefit from this method of road transport.
