LTL shipments are smaller shipments that will not fill an entire truck, leaving space for other small shipments.
FTL shipments fill most to all of an entire truck and tend to be much larger.
Time
Since LTL shipments involve more than just your shipment, they often require multiple stops and transfers before they reach the final destination.
FTL shipments typically pick up and deliver on the same truck leading to a quicker delivery time.
Price
LTL shipments are cheaper because you will only pay for the space that you use.
FTL shipments cost more because you are paying for more space in the truck.
Handling
LTL shipments may switch trucks or be transferred multiple times before delivery, increasing the risk of damaged or missing items.
With FTL shipping, your shipment will stay on the same truck and will not be transferred anywhere else. This creates less risk of damaged or missing items.
