What is Partial Truckload?

Partial Truckload is a specialized freight service that combines the cost-effectiveness of Less Than Truckload (LTL) shipping with the high-quality service of Full Truckload (FTL). For the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors, this means efficiently shipping medical supplies and pharmaceutical products without requiring a full truckload. This service is particularly useful for shipments that require careful handling, temperature control, and timely delivery.

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 medical supplies
  • Heavy pharmaceutical products up to 25,000 lbs.
  • Fragile or temperature-sensitive items
