What is PTL?

Partial truckload logistics, or PTL, is a logistics service that combines the benefits of both truckload and less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments. PTL shipments typically involve palletised freight that takes up more space than an LTL shipment, but more is needed to fill an entire truckload.

Partial truckload shipments are typically more cost-effective than traditional LTL shipments and offer faster transit times than truckload shipments. Using PTL, companies can optimise their shipping costs and reduce their transportation spend, making it an ideal solution for businesses with irregular or variable shipping needs.
