What are full truckload services?
Full truckload is frequently referred to as FTL shipments. This shipping mode has only one single customer. In this case, the trailer could be filled with the palettes up to its payload limit or carry only one pallet. Most importantly, the journey is reserved for one shipment only. But the payload limit is 24 tons or 33 pallets in Europe.
Which businesses could benefit the most from FTL?
FTL shipping is an ideal option for shippers with large loads to cover the full space of the truck. Also, if you operate in fresh production, FTL promises time-sensitive deliveries in time. One of the most important benefits of FTL is attention to your freight. There is a range of tailored services your shipment could be covered, such as two drivers, extra safety options, or sustainability preferences. So why is FTL so good for large shipments?
- For freights which fill an entire truck
- The payload limit is 24 tons or 33 pallets
- Faster freight transport, as the truck has no other pickups or drop-offs along the way
- Less handling (no transferring between trucks)
Spotos offers full loads for larger goods at a smart rate depending on the vehicle and storage size. Our network and expertise will ensure that your goods arrive in perfect condition every time. In addition, we will always ensure the highest quality of services and shipping solutions you demand.
How is full truck load services pricing determined?
Several factors impact the cost of FTL shipping.
- Dimensions of FTL shipment
- Distance from pickup to delivery
- Type of FTL shipments – standard, fragile, dangerous, or perishable items
- Additional services, including insurance and extra assistance

The most popular road freight shipping methods are FTL (full truckload and LTL (less-than-truckload). Choosing the right freight shipping option dictates prices and shipping duration. Consider the most significant differences between FTL and LTL shipping.
- FTL is for the sole and larger freights, while LTL combines separate (small) shipments to fill trucks (several customers). Perfect mode to reduce transit times.
- LTL shipping rates vary widely, but pricing is much lower than FTL
- LTL shipping is impacted by disruption and delays, so the accessorial charges are typically higher than in FTL shipping
- Pick-up and delivery times are not named in LTL. At the same time, FTL drivers set strict dates and times for pick-up and delivery appointments
Also, when choosing between FTL and LTL shipping, consider the following:
- Is the shipment large enough to fill an entire truck?
- Will the shipment be going to a single location?
- Does the shipment contain fragile or high-value items?
- How many handling units will the shipment contain?
- What is the weight of the shipment?
