Full Truckload FTL Shipping
What is Full Truckload Shipping?
Full Truckload (FTL) shipping dedicates an entire truck to a single shipment. Unlike Less-than-Truckload (LTL) shipping [link to LTL page], which combines multiple smaller shipments from different customers, FTL is ideal for businesses with large quantities of goods that can fill an entire truck. This method ensures your freight has exclusive use of the vehicle, providing a direct route from pickup to delivery without additional stops or transfers.

Benefits of FTL Shipping for Wine, Food & Beverages
Cost-Effective for Large Shipments
If you have enough freight to fill a truck, using an entire truck maximizes efficiency and reduces the per-unit cost of transportation. This is particularly beneficial for businesses in the wine and spirits industry, where large quantities of goods need to be shipped regularly.
Faster Delivery Times
FTL shipping offers faster transit times compared to LTL shipping. Since your shipment has exclusive use of the truck, it travels directly from the point of origin to the destination without any intermediate stops.
Fewer Requirements
Full truckload shipping typically requires fewer details to obtain a quote than other shipping methods, such as weight class, freight class, and packaging specifics, which are typically more crucial in LTL shipping scenarios.
Enhanced Security and Reduced Risk
With FTL shipping, your freight is the truck’s only occupant, reducing the risk of damage or loss associated with multiple handling. This is especially important for delicate and high-value items like glass bottles, specialty wines, and spirits.
Consistent & Reliable Service
Full truckload shipping offers consistent and reliable service, as the entire transportation process is dedicated to your shipment. This means fewer variables and potential disruptions, allowing more accurate delivery schedules. For businesses in the food and beverage industry, this reliability is crucial for maintaining inventory levels and meeting customer demands.
