LTL shipping is designed for freight that is too large for a parcel carrier but doesn’t require a full 53-foot trailer. In the LTL model, your freight is consolidated with shipments from other companies on the same truck and routed through a network of terminals.
Our AI-powered portal, ATGFR8, provides instant access to quotes from dozens of top national and regional LTL carriers. This allows you to compare rates and service times in seconds, ensuring you get the most competitive price for your LA-based shipments without having to contact multiple carriers individually.
Simply enter your shipment details—origin, destination, weight, dimensions, and freight class—into our portal. Our system instantly queries our network of carriers to provide you with a range of competitive options.
LTL pricing is based on several factors, including weight, dimensions, freight class (NMFC), density, and the distance to the destination. Additional services like liftgates or residential delivery can also affect the price.
Freight class is a standardized classification system used to categorize commodities. It’s based on four characteristics: density, stowability, handling, and liability. An accurate freight class is crucial for getting an accurate LTL quote.
You can use an online freight class calculator, but the most accurate way is to ask our team. We can help you determine the correct NMFC code for your commodity to avoid costly re-classification fees.
A FAK is a pricing agreement between a shipper and a carrier that allows multiple products with different freight classes to be shipped and billed at the same class. For high-volume shippers, we can negotiate FAKs to simplify billing and significantly reduce costs.
For our volume customers, we leverage our carrier relationships to negotiate discounts on common accessorial fees like lift gate services, residential deliveries, and over-length charges. This is another way we help lower your total shipping spend.
LTL is ideal for smaller, more durable shipments that can withstand being handled at multiple terminals. If your freight is larger (6+ pallets), more fragile, or needs to arrive faster, Partial Truckload (PTL) is often a better choice as it avoids the hub-and-spoke system.
LTL freight is picked up and taken to a local terminal (the ‘spoke’). It’s then consolidated with other freight onto a long-haul truck and moved to a central distribution center (the ‘hub’). The process reverses at the destination hub. This system is efficient but involves multiple handling points.
The BOL is the most important document in shipping. It’s a legally binding contract between the shipper and the carrier that details the freight being shipped, its origin, and its destination. Our TMS generates this for you.
Yes. Most LTL carriers offer guaranteed or expedited services for an additional fee. This prioritizes your freight and provides a money-back guarantee if the delivery window is missed.
Freight should be securely packed on pallets or in crates. Use shrink wrap and banding to keep items stable. Proper packaging is crucial to prevent damage during transit and handling at terminals.
If damage occurs, you must note it on the delivery receipt BEFORE signing. Then, file a claim with the carrier. We can assist you in this process and recommend All-Risk Cargo Insurance for full protection.
No problem. We can arrange for a truck with a liftgate for an additional fee. Just be sure to select this option when getting a quote.
As a broker, we leverage our total shipping volume to get you significantly better rates than you could get on your own. Plus, our TMS allows you to compare multiple carriers at once, saving you time and ensuring you get the best deal.
