Inland Freight

Full Truck Load <FTL>

Full Truck Load (FTL), also known as truckload shipping, refers to a mode of freight transportation where a dedicated truck carries the shipment for a single customer, and the entire available space in the truck is utilized by that customer's goods.

​

Shippers have more control over the loading and unloading process in FTL shipments. This can be beneficial for delicate or specialized cargo that requires specific handling instructions.​

Drayage

Drayage refers to the short-distance transportation of goods, typically over a relatively short distance, often within a single metropolitan area or between nearby facilities. The term is commonly used in the context of containerized cargo moving between ports, rail terminals, distribution centers, and other transportation hubs.

Heavy Hauling

"Heavy hauling," also known as heavy transport or heavy-duty hauling, is the transportation of oversized and overweight loads that exceed the limits set by standard transportation regulations.

​Heavy hauling is a complex and highly regulated aspect of transportation that requires expertise, careful planning, and adherence to safety standards to ensure the successful and secure transportation of oversized and overweight loads.

​

Less Than Truck Load <LTL>

Less Than Truckload (LTL) shipping is a freight transportation method that involves the transportation of relatively small freight shipments that do not require the use of an entire truck trailer. Instead of reserving an entire truck for a single shipment, LTL allows multiple shippers to share space on the same truck.

​

LTL shipments are classified based on factors such as weight, dimensions, value, density, and ease of handling. ​

Intermodal

Intermodal shipments involve the use of multiple modes of transportation—such as rail, truck, ship, and/or air—to move goods from the point of origin to the final destination.

​

Intermodal transportation is often more cost-effective than relying solely on a single mode of transport. By utilizing the strengths of each mode, businesses can optimize routes, reduce transportation costs, and enhance overall supply chain efficiency.​
