LTL (Less-than-Truckload) freight is used for smaller shipments that don’t require an entire truck, allowing multiple shippers to share the space and reduce costs. FTL (Full Truckload) freight, on the other hand, is for larger shipments that fill the entire truck. FTL is faster because the truck moves directly from the pickup location to the destination without multiple stops. LTL is more economical for smaller loads, but it may take longer since the truck makes several stops to drop off other shipments along the way.

Hazardous goods are materials that pose a risk to health, safety, property, or the environment during transportation. Examples include chemicals, flammable liquids, gases, explosives, and radioactive materials. These goods require special handling, packaging, and labelling, and may be subject to strict regulations. Not all freight companies handle hazardous goods, so it’s important to check with your provider beforehand. If you’re shipping hazardous materials, ensure that all relevant documentation and safety measures are in place to comply with transport regulations.

Freight consolidation is the process of combining smaller shipments from multiple shippers into a single, larger load to optimise transport costs and efficiency. This method is commonly used for less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments, where shippers pay for the space their goods occupy rather than the entire truck. Consolidation reduces shipping costs by sharing the transport expenses with other shippers. It also allows for more efficient use of transport resources, as trucks are filled to capacity, reducing the number of trips needed.
