What is Partial Truckload?

Partial Truckload is a mode of freight shipping used for shipments which may not need the use of a full trailer. Partial truckloads may be slightly more than LTL, and usually involve shipments of either six or more pallets or over five thousand pounds weight. Partial truckload shipments generally benefit from less handling and faster transit times. Partial truckload carriers very rarely stop at distribution terminals on the way, meaning a faster destination time and less handling.
