LTL Freight Services
Less-Than-Truckload Shipping, Optimized for Precision, Speed & Cost-Efficiency
In today’s fast-paced supply chain, not every shipment requires a full truck. That’s where LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight comes in—offering cost-effective, flexible, and timely solutions for businesses of all sizes. At JBS, we specialize in managing complex LTL shipments with unmatched transparency, control, and consistency.
What Is Truckload (TL) Shipping?
Truckload (TL) freight refers to the transportation of shipments that fill or nearly fill an entire trailer. Unlike LTL (Less-Than-Truckload), TL shipments travel point-to-point without transfers or terminal handling, reducing transit times and freight damage risks.
It’s ideal for:
✔️ Freight that weighs 15,000+ lbs
✔️ Shipments that occupy 20+ pallets
✔️ High-value or time-sensitive goods
✔️ Dedicated or one-customer shipments
✔️ Shipments requiring special equipment (e.g., flatbed, refrigerated)
What Is LTL Freight?
LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) shipping is a logistics solution used for transporting smaller freight volumes that do not require a full trailer. Instead of paying for unused space, your freight shares space in a trailer with other shipments going in the same direction
LTL is ideal when your freight
Weighs between
150 to 15,000 pounds
Occupies
less than 10 pallets or half the trailer
Has flexible
delivery timelines
Requires cost-effective transit over full-truckload pricing
