📦 Choosing Between FTL and LTL Shipping: Which One Is Right for Your Business?
When it comes to transporting goods, choosing the right shipping method can make a major difference in cost, speed, and overall customer satisfaction.
At SamJake Logistics, we understand that every shipment is unique — and the right solution must match your specific goals.
Here’s what you need to know:
🚛 What is FTL (Full Truckload)?
- FTL means your goods occupy the entire truck.
- It’s ideal when you have:
- Large volumes
- High-value shipments
- Urgent timelines
- Benefits of FTL:
✔ Faster delivery (no additional stops)
✔ Less handling (lower risk of damage)
✔ Better suited for sensitive or time-critical goods
📦 What is LTL (Less-Than-Truckload)?
- LTL means your goods share space with other shipments.
- It’s ideal when you have:
- Smaller volumes
- Flexible timelines
- Cost sensitivity
- Benefits of LTL:
✔ Cost-effective (pay only for the space you use)
✔ Eco-friendly (shared transport = reduced emissions)
✔ Great for growing businesses or sporadic shipments
🧠 How to Choose Between FTL and LTL?
