Glossary: LTL Freight
**LTL Freight** (Less-Than-Truckload) shipping services carrying commercial palletized cargo that does not require a full 48-foot or 53-foot truck trailer, billed based on weight, volume, and NMFC freight class.
Commercial Freight Sizing
LTL freight networks consolidate multiple shippers' pallets onto single trailers. Because space is shared, rates are governed by freight classes determined by cargo density, handling, and damage risk.
