Full Truck Load (FTL)
Full truckload or FTL is a primary method of transporting large or delicate freight cargoes. It is less expensive if there is just one pickup. FTL signifies faster delivery times than part truckload (PTL) shipping. This helps to greatly reduce freight handling, which is especially preferable for fragile freight.
When you delegate your FTL management to Guru Drashti Logistics, you gain access to our vast, varied, and highly qualified carrier network, which is supported by reliable connections. We offer you both capacity and cost savings.
FTL shipping can sometimes prove inefficient for smaller loads of freight as it transports the cargo of one shipper per trailer. If you are using FTL for shipments that do not require a full trailer, you might be probably overpaying, increasing the risk of your freight shifting and getting damaged.

- Understanding the freight industry and carriers’ goals is necessary to lock in a competitive FTL rate.
- On-time delivery is imperative. Firm pick-up and delivery times can be expected with FTL.
