Full Truckload (FTL) refers to a road transport method in which a truck is fully loaded with cargo from a single shipper, occupying the entire vehicle. Unlike less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments, FTL provides faster transit times, reduces handling, and minimizes the risk of damage or delays, making it ideal for large-volume or time-sensitive shipments. In logistics, FTL is widely used for domestic and regional distribution, enabling efficient route planning, cost optimization per unit of cargo, and improved supply chain reliability. Proper planning for FTL includes load securing, weight distribution, route selection, and adherence to safety regulations.
