LTL freight shipping.

LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight shipping moves palletized cargo that is too large for parcel but does not fill an entire trailer. Your shipment shares trailer space with freight from other shippers, so you only pay for the space and weight you use. LTL freight is typically the right mode for one to six pallets, and rates are built from weight, dimensions, freight class, distance, and any accessorial services you add.

Yes. UUCargo moves LTL freight across all Canadian provinces through a network of 50+ carriers, including major lanes between British Columbia, Alberta, the Prairies, Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada. We also handle cross-border LTL freight between Canada and the United States. Enter your pickup and delivery postal codes to see which carriers serve your lane and what they charge.

LTL freight transit times depend on distance and the lane. Regional moves within a province or state often deliver in one to two business days, cross-country Canadian lanes typically run four to seven business days, and cross-border shipments add time for customs clearance. Because LTL freight stops at terminals along the route, it is slower than a direct full truckload. UUCargo shows the estimated transit time for every carrier before you book, so you can weigh speed against cost.

LTL freight shares a trailer between several shippers and is priced by the space you occupy, which makes it cost-effective for one to six pallets. FTL (Full Truckload) dedicates an entire trailer to your shipment, moves direct without terminal handling, and usually makes sense from roughly ten pallets or 15,000 lbs upward, or when cargo is fragile, time-critical, or high-value. If you are unsure which fits, compare both modes side by side at booking.

LTL freight generally covers one to six standard pallets, or up to about 15,000 lbs. Below one pallet, parcel or courier service is often cheaper. Above six pallets, it is worth comparing a volume LTL or full truckload rate, because dedicating a trailer can cost less than paying LTL rates on a large shipment.

A Bill of Lading (BOL) is the document issued by the carrier to the shipper of goods. It is essential for exporters to get paid and importers to get their merchandise. Should something happen to your cargo, a BOL is required for compensation in the event of any damage, delay, or loss. The BOL also provides a tracking number for your freight and includes international shipping details.
