Truckload Meaning in Logistics

Truckload, or TL, refers to a type of freight mode in logistics where a single shipper’s goods are loaded onto a single trailer for shipment. This contrasts LTL, or Less Than Truckload, where many shippers’ goods are loaded onto a single trailer.

Truckload logistics is used for larger shipments that fill an entire trailer and do not need to share space with other shippers’ goods. This allows for more efficient and cost-effective transportation, as the shipper does not need to pay for unused space on the trailer.
