Amidst the present economic landscape, the importance of less-than-truckload (LTL) services has heightened. LTL, also known as less-than-load, caters to moderately sized loads or quantities of goods weighing between 150 and 15,000 pounds. Employing a hub-and-spoke system, LTL providers consolidate loads and shipping requests from various businesses onto their trucks. However, a notable drawback of LTL is the increased handling of items and longer delivery times compared to direct shipments.
