FTL shipping is used when a shipment is large enough to fill an entire truck, or when a shipper prefers to dedicate a truck to their cargo alone, regardless of its size. FTL is faster than LTL as it usually involves direct delivery from the pickup point to the destination without stops to load or unload other goods. It’s ideal for large, bulky shipments, or for high-value or time-sensitive goods that require exclusive use of a truck.
