Introduction to our FTL and LTL Freight Services

Within freight transportation, it’s crucial to distinguish between Full Truckload (FTL) and Less Than Truckload (LTL) services. These terms define how your cargo occupies space in a transportation vehicle:

• Full Truckload (FTL): This refers to when a shipment occupies the entire truck. It’s typically used when businesses have enough goods to fill an entire truck or when they prefer their goods to be transported alone for faster delivery or added security.
• Less Than Truckload (LTL): This means a shipment does not occupy the whole truck, sharing space with other shipments. It’s ideal for businesses with smaller freight needs or when cost efficiency is a priority over delivery speed.

At Hansen Bros. Moving & Storage, we ensure either option is executed with utmost precision and professionalism. Trust in our expertise for optimal freight solutions, and get in touch for a consultation customized to your requirements.

FTL vs. LTL Freight Services: Making the Right Choice

When should your business employ FTL/LTL freight services, and what factors should you consider when deciding between them? Use Full Truckload (FTL) when you have substantial loads or time-sensitive cargo, as it offers fast and secure deliveries. Choose Less than Truckload (LTL) for smaller shipments to save on costs by sharing transportation expenses.

Your decision should consider shipment size, urgency, and budget. At Hansen Bros., we’ll guide you to the right service to match your circumstances, ensuring efficient and cost-effective shipping.
