Some of the factors involved with freight are freight dimensions (made up of length, width and height), freight classification and special services (Blanket wrap, headload, expedited, etc) are all things to consider when choosing a shipping method.

When transporting freight that does not require the entire space of a truck iis called less than truckload (LTL) shipping, whereas full truckload (TL) shipments take up the space or weight limit of an entire trailer. Depending on your specific freight requirements, one option is likely better than the other.
Less than truckload (LTL) shipping allows multiple shippers to share the allowed space on the same truck. It can be very cost efficient, with multiple companies paying for the space they use on the trailer. The less than truckload (LTL) shipping option is ideal for companies who have freight shipments less than 15,000 pounds.
