Drivco Logistices Partial Truckload Services
Some shipments are too much large for our less-than-truckload (LTL) services, but at the same time, they are not large enough to justify the cost of our full truckload (FTL) services.
Many businesses we work with encounter this challenge when shipping freight and growing their market share. Partial cargo freight services are the ideal solution for mid-sized shipments. Shipping with Partial Truckload comes with benefits as well. It provides a cost-effective and efficient method of transporting your products while improving efficiency and safety for your shipment.
What are Partial Truckload Freight Services?
The target market for partial cargo freight services are shipments that weigh between 6,000 and 30,000 pounds or contain between 6 to 18 pallets. Partial Truckload provides businesses with a cost-effective method of transporting medium-sized shipments. Essentially, partial truckload services bridge the gap between LTL and FTL shipping.
Benefits of Partial Freight Shipping
1. Partial Truckload Shipping Is Cost Efficient
With partial truckload, you share the truckload with just one or two other shipments. Costs are divided per shipper based on space utilized in the trailer. Shipments typically originate and deliver in markets with close proximity making partial shipping less expensive than a dedicated full truckload delivery.
2. Partial Truckload Transportation Is Efficient
When shipping with LTL, typically, there are multiple stops and cross dock facilities. With a partial truckload, we can expect the shipment to go directly to its destination or load-to-ride.
3. Reduced Chance of Damaged or Lost Goods
LTL freight is loaded and unloaded, shifted around a trailer, and requires numerous stops, which increases the likelihood of loss or damage. However, with a partial truckload shipment handling and touches are reduced to only occur at time of shipping and delivery.
4. Partial Truckload Is Effective For Longer Hauling Distances
Partial cargo transportation is an excellent option for long-haul freight and is particularly cost-effective for dispatches that are 700 miles or longer. The cost savings based on distance are purely logistics-based.
