Cost-savings opportunities
Often, the ability to share space and shipping costs can make LTL freight shipping cheaper than other truckload shipping methods.
When your small or lightweight LTL freight doesn’t require an entire trailer, choose less than truckload (LTL) freight shipping. Brothers Freight Management provides the reliable, high-value solutions you need to accomplish your goals.
Across many industries, businesses often need to ship small or lightweight items that don’t require a full truckload’s worth of space. The freight LTL shipping method allows companies to transport their freight while only paying for the portion of the truck their item occupies.
Instead of paying for the cost of an entire truck and leaving spaces empty, LTL freight shipping makes the most of a truck’s capabilities. The remaining cargo area usually fills up with freight from different shippers, which offers a win-win scenario for everyone involved.
If you’re deciding whether LTL freight shipping services are the best option for you, consider the weight of your freight and how much trailer space it will require. According to the National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) system, these services apply to different classes of freight ranging from 150 to 150,000 pounds that don’t require a full truckload.
On the other hand, you may need an entire truckload shipment (FTL) if your freight will require the full weight limit or space of a trailer. As a full-service company and LTL carrier, Brothers Freight Management can ship these items for you too.
Here are a few reasons you might consider LTL freight shipping services:

Most LTL freight shipping companies can provide tracking capabilities with factors like a shipment reference number and pickup date range, giving you peace of mind as to where your shipment is at all times.
Many companies that ship LTL freight package the items onto a pallet before loading it onto the truck, offering more protection than shipments with multiple smaller handling units.
