Due to its relatively low impact on climate and natural conditions, as well as its large transportation capacity and single vehicle loading capacity, freight transportation has advantages in terms of frequency and low cost. In addition, the variety of vehicle types available for freight transportation allows it to carry almost any commodity without being limited by weight and volume, which cannot be compared to road and air transportation.
What is whole vehicle transportation? What is less than truckload freight? What advantages do they each have?
The transportation of goods is often carried out by whole vehicles, which is more economical and reasonable. However, in reality, there are often less than truckload (LTL) goods with scattered volume, large number of batches, scattered arrival stations, diverse varieties, complex properties, different packaging conditions, and complex operations, which give rise to LTL vehicles.
The vehicle that transports less than truckload goods is called a less than truckload vehicle. Less than truckload (LTL) transportation refers to the transportation method of sharing a truck with several or even hundreds of other batches of goods when the weight or volume of a batch of goods is not enough to load a truck (not sufficient for full vehicle transportation). When a batch of goods is shipped in small quantities, it is not economically feasible to transport them due to insufficient loading or occupying one truck (or one transport vehicle). Instead, the transportation department arranges for them to be assembled with other shipped goods for transportation, and charges based on the ton kilometer and freight rate of the shipped goods.
Less than truckload freight has the advantages of flexibility, convenience, and simplicity, which is suitable for the transportation needs of small quantities, diverse varieties, and large batches of goods. It conforms to the laws of the times and increases the vitality of the commodity market economy.
