LTL, partial, and a full truck
Shared space, a portion of a trailer, or the whole trailer.
Less-than-truckload freight shares a trailer and usually a terminal. A partial or volume move uses more of a trailer and is often priced by space. A full truckload is the dedicated trailer.
No pallet count in this lounge is the law. Carriers publish their own breakpoints. Ask for weight, cube, and whether the freight can survive a cross-dock.
The course that goes further is LTL. Reading this note does not enroll you.
