What is Partial Truckload?

Partial Truckload is a specialized freight service that combines the cost-effectiveness of Less Than Truckload (LTL) shipping with the exceptional service quality of Full Truckload (FTL). For the CPG industry, this means you can efficiently ship your products—be it packaged goods, bulk items, or promotional products—without the need to fill an entire truck. This service is ideal for shipments that require specialized handling, timely delivery, and flexibility.

It’s ideally suited for shipments with one or more of these characteristics:

5-21 pallets
Up to 35 ft of trailer space
Require a pre-set delivery appointment at destination
Bulky or oversized products
Heavy products up to 25,000 lbs.
Fragile or perishable products

Why Choose Partial Truckload Shipping for CPG Products?

1. Cost Efficiency for CPG Shipments

Partial Truckload Shipping allows CPG companies to pay only for the truck space they need, reducing shipping costs while ensuring fast delivery. Unlike Full Truckload, our Volume LTL for CPG services minimize empty space and reduce expenses without compromising on service quality.

2. Minimized Handling to Prevent Damage

Our CPG freight solutions are designed to reduce the risk of damage by limiting the handling of your products. This minimizes touchpoints and decreases the chances of contamination or damage—crucial for maintaining product integrity.

3. Temperature-Controlled Options

We offer refrigerated partial truckload shipping options for temperature-sensitive CPG products. Our temperature-controlled trucks ensure that goods requiring specific conditions remain fresh throughout their journey.
