What is Partial Truckload?
Partial Truckload is a shipping method designed for freight that doesn’t fill a full trailer but exceeds standard LTL limits. Rather than paying for unused space, you only pay for what you actually use.
Because Sunset Pacific Transportation consolidates retail freight with compatible routes, you gain efficiency and reduce overall shipping expenses, especially when aiming to serve national retailers like Amazon or regional chains that demand strict delivery windows.
Our partial truckload retail solutions accommodate:
Why Choose Partial Truckload Shipping for Retail?
Partial truckload shipping is cost-effective for retailers looking to avoid wasted trailer space. By consolidating multiple shipments to Amazon’s vast distribution network or big-box stores around the country, you only pay for the space your freight occupies. That translates to fewer budget surprises and more profits retained. For heavier loads, we also offer volume LTL for retail to handle medium-sized shipments without the overhead of a full trailer.
Serving major retailers means meeting high standards for damage-free arrivals. Every time retail freight is offloaded and reloaded, it increases the chance of damage or misplaced items. With Partial Truckload, shipments typically travel from origin to destination without repeated transfers. Fewer touchpoints lower the risk of damage, giving retailers confidence their products will arrive shelf-ready.
Our team offers specialized handling for large, heavy, or delicate products like appliances or oversized furniture. Trained staff carefully load and secure your products, reducing the chance of damage in transit, even when shipping to demanding retailers with strict guidelines. We accommodate everything from fragile displays to heavy-duty stock. Our retail freight solutions can also include co-loading, volume LTL for retail, and other specialized services based on your unique load size.
