Less-than-truckload transportation lets suitable smaller shipments share trailer capacity with other freight. There is no universal pallet-count cutoff: dimensions, weight, floor space, commodity, and carrier rules determine fit.
Measurements and classification
Measure each handling unit as it will ship, including the pallet and packaging. Provide the current NMFC item and freight class if known; identify anything uncertain rather than guessing.
Handling and additional services
LTL can involve transfers, so packaging needs to suit the handling process. Declare liftgate needs, limited-access locations, or appointments before booking. Changes to the measured load, classification, or services required can affect charges.
