Truckload shipping is the primary mode of over-the-road trucking. It suggests transporting freight in quantities that fill an entire truck trailer. Depending on the shipment type, full truckload shipping has many modes and uses various trailer types, including:

Usually, standard truckload trailers can haul up to 43,000 – 45,000 lbs and are recommended for shipments that weigh more than 15,000 lbs, or consist of more than 10 pallets.

Truckload shipping is the great option for shippers who have a large volume of freight, and need to ship long distances. In that case, full truckload is the best option in terms of costs, speed, and reliability.
