LTL means that many shipments from different entities are combined to fill the entire truck.

It is the least expensive option recommended for small businesses that need to ship regularly but cannot fill the whole truck. On the other hand, it is the most time-consuming and damage-sensitive solution. It requires much more handling than FTL or PTL. 

PTL is a trade-off between FTL and LTL. In this option, the same truck which picks up the shipment is delivering it, but other shipments are added on the way.

Typically you can use that option for at least 4+ pallets. There is less handling and a lower risk of damage, but it also requires several stops, so transit time will be higher than FTL but should be lower than LTL.

The name speaks for itself, and it is used here mainly to help you better understand LTL and PTL shipping. It is a shipment that utilizes the entire truck dedicated for this assignment.

It is the most expensive option and the most efficient of all three. The truck goes from point A to B without any other pickups, so it takes less time, and items are not moved around until they reach their destination.
