Frequently Asked Questions
What is FTL and when should I use it?
FTL (Full Truck Load) means your cargo fills an entire truck trailer. It's the fastest and most secure ground option — no stops, no handling between pickup and delivery. Ideal for shipments over 10,000 lbs or when you need dedicated capacity.
What types of trailers are available for FTL?
We offer dry vans (53'), flatbeds, step-decks, lowboys, refrigerated trailers, and specialized equipment. We match the right trailer type to your cargo dimensions, weight, and handling requirements.
Do you provide cross-border FTL to Mexico and Canada?
Yes. We handle full cross-border FTL under USMCA rules including customs clearance, border crossing coordination, and compliance documentation. Our carriers hold C-TPAT and FAST certifications for expedited border processing.
How quickly can you arrange an FTL shipment?
For standard lanes within the US, we can typically arrange FTL pickup within 24–48 hours. For cross-border or specialized equipment, we recommend 3–5 days lead time for optimal pricing and capacity.
Is GPS tracking included with FTL?
Yes. All FTL shipments include real-time GPS tracking. You receive location updates and ETA notifications throughout transit, with proof of delivery upon completion.
What is the difference between FTL and LTL?
FTL (Full Truckload) means your cargo exclusively occupies an entire truck from origin to destination — no stops, no other shippers' cargo. LTL (Less Than Truckload) shares truck space with other shipments, making multiple stops. FTL is faster, has lower damage risk, and is more cost-effective for shipments over about 10,000 lbs.
What types of trucks are available for FTL?
We offer dry vans (standard enclosed trailers), flatbeds (for oversized or heavy items), refrigerated trailers (reefers) for temperature-sensitive goods, step-deck trailers for tall cargo, and specialized equipment like double-drop or RGN trailers for extra-heavy machinery.
How far in advance should I book FTL shipments?
For standard lanes, 3-5 business days advance booking is recommended. During peak seasons (Q4 holidays, produce season) or for specialized equipment, booking 1-2 weeks ahead ensures capacity. Expedited FTL can often be arranged within 24 hours at premium rates.
What is the maximum weight for an FTL shipment?
Standard FTL shipments in the US are limited to 44,000-45,000 lbs (about 20 tons) of payload in a standard 53-foot trailer due to federal gross vehicle weight limits of 80,000 lbs. Overweight shipments are possible with special permits but require designated routes and may need escort vehicles.
Do you provide GPS tracking for FTL shipments?
Yes. All FTL shipments include real-time GPS tracking with ETA updates. You can monitor your shipment's location, temperature (for reefer loads), and estimated delivery time through our tracking portal. We send proactive alerts for any delays or exceptions.
