What is Partial Truckload?

Partial Truckload is a specialized freight service that combines the cost-efficiency of Less Than Truckload (LTL) with the superior service experience of Full Truckload (FTL). For exercise equipment, this means you can ship large or bulky items—such as treadmills, weight machines, or exercise bikes—without having to fill an entire truck. Ideal for fitness equipment that requires careful handling and timely delivery, Partial Truckload ensures your shipments are managed efficiently.

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 products
