Not every shipment requires a full truck. Scorpio Logistics Group Inc. provides reliable Less Than Truckload (LTL) shipping solutions for businesses that need to move freight without paying for an entire trailer.
LTL transportation allows multiple shipments to share available trailer space, making it a practical and cost-effective option for smaller and mid-sized freight.
From individual pallets to recurring LTL shipments, our team helps coordinate transportation based on your freight requirements, pickup schedule, delivery location, and service needs.
Efficient freight transportation without the cost of a dedicated truck.
Less Than Truckload shipping is designed for freight that does not require an entire truck.
Instead of dedicating a full trailer to one shipment, LTL freight is transported alongside shipments from other customers. This shared capacity allows businesses to move smaller quantities of freight while using transportation space efficiently.
LTL can be an ideal solution for shipments that are too large for parcel delivery but don’t require full truckload capacity.
Scorpio Logistics Group Inc. can help coordinate LTL transportation for a wide variety of commercial freight.
Our standard LTL solutions are designed for routine shipments that don’t require expedited transportation.
This can be a practical option for:
When timing matters, expedited LTL transportation can provide a faster solution for time-sensitive freight.
Expedited service may be appropriate for:
Specific transit times and service availability depend on the shipment, route, and carrier capacity.
When your shipment requires multiple pickups or deliveries, our multi-stop transportation solutions provide the flexibility and capacity needed to keep your freight moving efficiently.
Multi-stop transportation can be useful for distribution routes, multiple customer deliveries, supplier pickups, and other situations where freight needs to be transported to or from several locations in a single trip.
LTL shipping provides several advantages for businesses that regularly move smaller freight quantities.
You pay for the space your shipment requires rather than dedicating an entire truck to a smaller load.
LTL can accommodate shipments that don't fit efficiently into parcel delivery but don't require a full truck.
Multiple shipments can share trailer capacity, helping make better use of available transportation space.
LTL transportation can be used for shipments moving across local, regional, and longer-distance lanes, depending on available service.
As your shipping volume changes, LTL gives you flexibility without requiring a dedicated truck for every shipment.
Instead of paying for an entire trailer when your shipment only occupies a portion of it, LTL allows you to use transportation capacity more efficiently.
LTL may be the right transportation option when:
If your shipment is large enough to require most of a trailer, Full Truckload (FTL) may be a better option.

LTL stands for Less Than Truckload. It is a freight transportation method designed for shipments that do not require the full capacity of a truck.
LTL shipments share trailer capacity with other freight, while FTL provides dedicated trailer capacity for a shipment.
LTL is commonly used for palletized and commercial freight, including manufactured goods, retail products, equipment components, and other shipments that don’t require a full truck.
The number of pallets depends on their dimensions, weight, configuration, and available trailer capacity. Providing accurate shipment details helps determine the appropriate service.
For smaller shipments, LTL can be more cost-effective because you pay for the portion of transportation capacity your freight requires rather than an entire dedicated truck. Pricing depends on factors such as freight characteristics, distance, class, and service requirements.
