What is LTL Freight?

Less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping is ideal when your freight doesn't fill an entire trailer. You only pay for the space you use, and your shipment shares the truck with other freight.

✅ Best for shipments between 150 – 15,000 lbs

What You Need for an Accurate LTL Quote

Provide the following so carriers can quote accurately and avoid post-pickup rebills (reweighs / reclassifications).

📦 Commodity Basics

Commodity description (specific, not "general goods")
NMFC code & freight class — use our free NMFC lookup tool
Pallet count + per-pallet weight + total weight
Dimensions (L×W×H, inches or cm)
Density (lb/cubic ft) — use our loading & density guide
New to freight class? See our freight class guide

📍 Pickup / Delivery Address Type

Commercial (business with dock) — base price
Residential (home address) — adds surcharge ~$60-150
Limited Access (school / mall / farm / storage) — surcharge
Check instantly with our free address checker

🔧 Common Accessorials

Liftgate (if you need ground-level unloading)
Inside Delivery (into the building, not curbside)
Appointment Delivery (scheduled time slot)
Notification (call before delivery)

⏰ Pickup Time Window

Pickup date (next business day onward)
Time window (e.g. 09:00-17:00)
Driver instructions (contact / floor / dock height)

💡 Accuracy = lower cost — Inaccurate weight, dimensions, or freight class can trigger a rebill (reweigh/reclassify after pickup), often increasing price by 15-50%. Double-check before submitting.
