When it comes to shipping freight, many businesses, seeking the most cost-effective option, turn to Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) carriers, often overlooking the fact that a freight trucking company specializing in full truckload shipping might be a better fit. However, what they don’t realize is that LTL shipping often comes with hidden costs—longer transit times, increased handling, and a higher risk of damage.

At Cargo Transporters, we offer a smarter alternative. With our full truckload (FTL) services, we can beat LTL pricing while providing a faster, more efficient, and more secure way to move your freight.

Why LTL Shipping Might Be Costing You More

LTL shipping is designed for smaller loads that don’t require a full truck, meaning your freight shares space with shipments from multiple businesses. While this may seem cost-efficient, the reality is that LTL freight often comes with:

• Higher Costs Per Unit – LTL rates can add up due to multiple touchpoints, terminal fees, and additional handling.
• Longer Transit Times – Since LTL shipments stop at multiple locations for loading and unloading, your freight takes longer to reach its destination.
• Increased Risk of Damage – More handling means more opportunities for damage, leading to additional costs in claims and delays.

How Cargo Transporters Beats LTL Pricing

Cargo Transporters specializes in full truckload shipping, providing direct, streamlined delivery that outperforms LTL in key areas:

• Competitive Pricing – Our optimized routing and direct service often result in lower overall costs compared to LTL.
• Faster Delivery – No more waiting for multiple stops or cross-docking delays. We move freight directly from point A to point B.
• Less Handling, Less Risk – Fewer touchpoints mean less risk of damage, ensuring your goods arrive safely and on time.
• Scalable Solutions – Whether you need a full truckload or a dedicated fleet, we tailor our services to fit your shipping needs.

Who Benefits Most from Switching to Cargo Transporters?

Businesses that regularly ship large or high-value freight can significantly benefit from our full truckload services. Industries like manufacturing, retail, automotive, and food distribution can enjoy cost savings, improved transit times, and enhanced reliability.

When does Shipping Truckload over LTL make sense?

A truckload (TL) shipping option is preferable over LTL (Less Than Truckload) when you have a large volume of goods that can fill a significant portion of a semi-trailer, typically exceeding 10 pallets or a weight significantly over 15,000 pounds, requiring a dedicated truck for your shipment alone, prioritizing faster delivery times, or when dealing with fragile items that need minimal handling during transit.

Make the Switch To a Freight Trucking Company

If you’re currently using LTL carriers and experiencing high costs, delays, or damaged freight, it’s time to rethink your shipping strategy. Cargo Transporters provides a more reliable, cost-effective, and faster solution to keep your business moving.
