What is Partial Load?

Partial Load refers to a shipment that does not require a full truckload, occupying only a part of the truck’s capacity. It is also known as LTL or Less Than Truckload.

Companies often send a partial load when the shipment quantity needs to be increased to fill an entire truck. This is a cost-effective way of transporting smaller shipments without paying for the entire truck’s capacity. The quantity of goods in a partial load can vary depending on the truck’s capacity and the shipment’s size. Partial loads are a common option for businesses that need to transport small to medium-sized shipments, and they can be used for domestic and international transport.
