FTL (Full Truckload) shipping is a logistics method where an entire truck is reserved for a single shipment. It is used when a shipper's freight fills or nearly fills a trailer by volume or weight, offering faster transit times and reduced handling risks.
A beverage distributor ships 22 pallets of bottled drinks from a production facility to a retail distribution center, filling an entire 53-foot trailer — this shipment moves as an FTL load directly without stops.

FTL is best when your freight volume can fill a trailer or when speed, security, or minimizing handling is critical.
Typically, shipments over 15,000 pounds (around 7,000 kilograms) or that occupy more than half of a trailer's space are candidates for FTL shipping.
