Partial truckload is a freight mode for large shipments that may not require the use of a full truckload trailer. Partial truckload is a good option for shippers looking for a cost-effective shipping solution that falls between LTL and full truckload, typically involving shipments over 5,000 pounds or 6 or more pallets. Partial truckload shipments do not require a freight class in order to secure a rate. They involve less handling and result in faster transit times.

There are several benefits of partial truckload shipping:

• Freight class is not required for partial truckload shipping, which can help avoid extra charges associated with freight reclassification if you happen to get it wrong.

• Your freight will be handled less which decreases the chance for damage. Partial truckloads can be ideal for shipments susceptible to damage during loading and unloading.

When to choose partial truckload.

• Low density freight: If your freight is light but takes up a lot of space, partial truckload may be a better option than LTL.

• Fragile freight: Partial truckload is a good option if you are concerned about freight damage. Less handling decreases the odds of cargo being damaged during transit.

• Lower costs: With partial truckload, you pay for the space and weight capacity you use.
