Full Truck Load Services — Dedicated Truckload Shipping for SMEs, MSMEs and Growing Businesses

Full Truck Load, or FTL, is a freight transportation solution where an entire truck's capacity is dedicated exclusively to a single Business's shipment. It provides direct, point-to-point transit without intermediate stops to collect or deliver other shippers' goods, suited to large-volume freight requiring dedicated capacity.

FTL dedicates the entire truck exclusively to one shipper's freight for direct transit. PTL and LTL share truck capacity among multiple shippers' consignments, which reduces cost but involves more stops and potentially longer transit. FTL is faster and more secure but costs more due to dedicated capacity.

Choose FTL when your freight volume fills or substantially fills an entire truck, when you need faster point-to-point transit without intermediate stops, when your freight is high-value or sensitive and cannot be shared with others, or when dedicated capacity provides important operational or security advantages.

FTL pricing is based on the full truck capacity being dedicated to your shipment, with charges determined by factors such as origin, destination, route distance, truck type and size, and applicable commercial terms. FTL costs more than shared options but provides dedicated capacity and faster, uninterrupted transit.

FTL is suited to large-volume commercial freight including full palletised loads, manufacturing output, raw material shipments, retail distribution stock, high-value goods and time-sensitive consignments that fill or substantially fill a truck and benefit from dedicated capacity and direct point-to-point transit.Checking applicable details before finalising your booking helps avoid any unexpected issues.

Multiple truck sizes and capacity options may be available for FTL depending on your freight volume, weight, dimensions and route requirements. Trackon's enterprise logistics team can advise on the most suitable truck type and capacity for your specific consignment to ensure efficient use of dedicated truck space.

Businesses should discuss applicable coverage options with Trackon during arrangement setup to ensure their high-value or large-volume freight is appropriately protected during transit.
