LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) Freight Shipping
Palletized freight that shares trailer space — pay only for the space you use.
Best for: Palletized B2B shipments under ~15,000 lbs that don't need a full trailer.
About LTL Freight
LTL (less-than-truckload) shipping moves palletized freight that doesn't fill an entire trailer — typically 1 to 6 pallets or 150 to 15,000 lbs. Instead of paying for a whole truck, your shipment shares trailer space with other freight and you pay based on weight, NMFC freight class, and distance (priced per hundredweight, or CWT). LTL is the most economical way to move smaller commercial shipments and is the backbone of B2B distribution. KeepShippin rates LTL across national and regional carriers, factors in accessorials like liftgate and residential delivery, and confirms your freight class before dispatch so there are no reclassification surprises on the invoice.
