LTL shipping is convenient but comes with higher per-unit costs compared to FTL (Full Truckload) shipping. Encouraging larger order volumes, consolidating supplier deliveries, or aligning with nearby vendors can make FTL more viable. Full truckloads reduce touchpoints, handling risks, and scheduling complexity. TMS platforms optimize these decisions with load-building capabilities. Incentivizing sales or customers to reach FTL thresholds can lead to smarter shipping patterns and consistent cost reduction.
