FTL vs. LTL – Choosing the Right Freight Option for Your Business

Whether you’re shipping a full trailer of goods or just a few pallets, choosing between Full Truckload (FTL) and Less Than Truckload (LTL) shipping can have a major impact on your delivery schedule, budget, and customer satisfaction. At WCCI Group, we offer both options—backed by expert logistics coordination and dependable service.

If you’re not sure which one fits your business needs best, let’s break down the key differences, benefits, and how WCCI helps you make the right call every time.


What is FTL (Full Truckload) Shipping?

FTL is ideal when you need to move a large volume of freight that fills an entire trailer—or when you have high-priority goods that require a dedicated vehicle. It’s the fastest and most direct form of freight transportation.

Benefits of FTL:

  • Direct delivery with no stops in between
  • Reduced risk of damage, as freight is loaded once and not transferred
  • Faster transit times
  • Great for high-value or time-sensitive shipments

Businesses often choose FTL when they’re moving large shipments on a tight deadline or want total control over their cargo’s environment and route.


What is LTL (Less Than Truckload) Shipping?

LTL is best when your freight doesn’t require a full trailer. It’s a cost-effective way to ship smaller loads, as you share space (and cost) with other shipments going in the same direction.

Benefits of LTL:

  • Cost savings – you pay only for the space you use
  • Eco-friendly – fewer trucks on the road reduces emissions
  • Ideal for small to medium-sized businesses or regular smaller shipments

WCCI’s LTL service includes precise tracking, careful handling, and optimized routing to keep your freight secure and on schedule.
