Truckload Carrier
Being a truckload carrier means delivering more than just goods—it means delivering reliability, efficiency and value. It’s about understanding the bigger picture of logistics and supply chain management.
Truckload Carrier Solutions From FullTruckload.com
What, exactly, does it mean to be a truckload carrier in the modern era? Some providers define this term in an incredibly broad way, using it to mean simply "someone who transports important items for a client from 'Point A' to 'Point B' in one piece." While that may be the most literal way to describe what a full truckload carrier means, we believe that it's only telling one small part of a much larger and more important story.
Today’s truckload carriers are not just transporting goods; they are providing comprehensive logistics solutions. This often involves offering flexible services like expedited shipping, specialized handling for fragile or hazardous materials, and sustainability initiatives such as fuel-efficient vehicles and carbon offset programs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is full truckload (FTL)?
Full truckload (FTL) shipping is a transportation method where an entire truck is dedicated to a single shipment. This means the truck’s journey is exclusively reserved for that one shipment. Compared to less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping, FTL offers several distinct advantages.
Since the truck is dedicated to a single shipment, there are no additional stops to pick up or drop off other customers’ freight, leading to more direct and quicker delivery. This is especially beneficial for time-sensitive shipments that need to arrive within a specific timeframe.
Another key advantage of FTL is the reduced risk of damage. With LTL shipping, goods are typically handled multiple times as they are consolidated with other shipments and transferred between trucks. In contrast, FTL shipments are generally loaded once and transported directly to the destination, reducing the chance of items being damaged during transit. This makes FTL particularly valuable for fragile, high-value, or sensitive products that require additional care and attention.
What is a truckload carrier?
A truckload carrier is a transportation company that specializes in Full Truckload (FTL) shipping, where an entire truck is dedicated to a single shipment for one customer. These carriers typically transport large quantities of goods that can fill a truck’s capacity, either by weight or volume.
Truckload carriers are often used for industries like manufacturing, retail, agriculture, and construction, where bulk shipments or specialized handling are required.
What does truckload capacity refer to?
Truckload capacity refers to the maximum amount of cargo a truck can carry, measured in terms of weight, volume, or pallet count. It determines how much freight can be loaded into a single truck while ensuring compliance with legal weight limits and optimizing space for efficient transportation.
The weight capacity of a truckload is typically governed by legal restrictions, with most standard trucks in the U.S. having a gross vehicle weight limit of 80,000 pounds. This includes the combined weight of the truck and the cargo, allowing for a cargo weight of approximately 42,000 to 45,000 pounds, depending on the truck’s design and empty weight.
How many pallets are considered FTL?
The number of pallets considered a Full Truckload (FTL) depends on the size of the pallets and the type of truck used. Typically, a standard 53-foot dry van or trailer can accommodate:
• Standard 48”x40” pallets: Up to 26–30 pallets in a single layer, depending on pallet configuration and the need for space between them.
• Double-stacked pallets: Potentially up to 52 pallets, if the goods are suitable for stacking and the trailer has sufficient height and weight capacity.
For shipments requiring special handling or space (e.g., oversized pallets, fragile items, or temperature-sensitive goods), the truck may carry fewer pallets, but it would still be considered FTL as the entire truck is reserved for that shipment.
Which industries use full truckload services?
Full truckload (FTL) services are widely used across various industries that require efficient transportation for large or specialized shipments. The manufacturing industry frequently relies on FTL to move raw materials, machinery, and finished products to factories, distribution centers, or end customers. Similarly, the retail and e-commerce sectors use FTL to transport bulk inventory, ensuring warehouses and stores remain stocked and capable of meeting consumer demand.
The agriculture and food industries benefit greatly from FTL services for the transport of fresh produce, grains, livestock feed, and temperature-sensitive items like dairy, meat, and seafood, often using refrigerated trucks. In the automotive sector, FTL is crucial for shipping car parts, engines, and even finished vehicles, with specialized trailers accommodating oversized or delicate items.
The healthcare and pharmaceutical industries depend on FTL for the secure and temperature-controlled shipment of medical equipment, prescription drugs, and vaccines. The construction industry uses FTL to move heavy building materials such as lumber, steel, and cement, often requiring flatbed trailers. Meanwhile, the technology and electronics sector utilizes FTL for the safe transport of high-value products like servers and electronic components.
