SHIPPING Q&A: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN LTL OR A PARTIAL
TRUCKLOAD SHIPMENT?
A: Depends on the number of pallets, weight, and the dimensions.
Further, if a pallet or crate is more than 8.5 feet wide, long or tall,
you will need a Flat Bed truck because Dry Vans (in other words your
‘common carriers’) will not be able to load. However, do not worry.
