DOMESTIC LTL SERVICE

In the world of logistics, one size doesn’t fit all. Not every shipment requires a dedicated truck, and not every business can afford to pay for empty space. That’s where Genex Logistics’ Domestic LTL (Less Than Truckload) Service comes in—delivering cost-effective, reliable transportation for shipments that don’t fill an entire truck.

Whether you’re a growing SME shipping inventory to distributors, an e-commerce business fulfilling B2B orders, or an established manufacturer moving partial loads between facilities, our LTL service gives you the flexibility to ship smarter without compromising on speed or reliability.

What is LTL Shipping?

Less Than Truckload shipping is a transportation method where multiple shippers share space on the same truck. Instead of booking an entire vehicle for a partial load, your shipment travels alongside cargo from other businesses heading in the same direction. You pay only for the space your freight occupies—measured by weight, dimensions, and freight class.

This shared transportation model creates a win-win scenario: shippers save money on transportation costs, while carriers maximize vehicle utilization and reduce empty miles. The result is an economically efficient and environmentally responsible shipping solution.

LTL is ideal when:

  • Your shipment weighs between 50 kg and 5,000 kg
  • You don’t need an entire truck’s capacity
  • Cost optimization is a priority
  • You have flexible (non-urgent) delivery timelines
  • You ship regularly but in smaller quantities

LTL Shipping Best Practices

  • Proper Packaging LTL shipments undergo multiple handling points. Ensure your freight is properly packaged on sturdy pallets with appropriate protection. Good packaging prevents damage and ensures smooth transit.
  • Accurate Information Provide precise weight, dimensions, and freight descriptions. Accurate information ensures correct pricing and prevents delays from re-weighing or reclassification.
  • Clear Labeling Mark every piece with shipper information, consignee details, and piece count. Clear labels help prevent misrouting and ensure all pieces stay together.
  • Advance Planning While LTL offers flexibility, booking in advance ensures space availability and optimal pickup scheduling. Plan shipments when possible rather than last-minute bookings.
