Full truckload (FTL) transport is a cost-effective way to ship a large volume of goods and ensure your products reach customers quickly. At Allen Distribution, we offer comprehensive FTL services to businesses in any industry, nationwide.
Whether you are a food manufacturer needing to ship a truckload of perishables or an e-commerce business seeking efficient fulfillment solutions, our team can deliver.
Unlike less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping, FTL transportation does not require sharing a trailer with other shippers, making it an excellent option for filling a trailer with pallets. For example, FTL could be the right solution if you have a shipment that could fill a 53-foot-long trailer.
FTL transportation offers several advantages to businesses needing to ship a large quantity.
FTL transport decreases the risk of delays or unexpected obstacles because it involves going directly from point A to point B. Additionally, we will use our transportation management system to track and monitor your shipment in real-time and ensure it goes smoothly.
If you need to move a large shipment in a single load, FTL makes sense. It allows you to ship everything at once rather than across multiple LTL shipments, reducing cost per mile and labor-related expenses in the long run.
Our team is happy to help you determine the most efficient and cost-effective solution for your requirements, whether it is FTL, LTL or another transportation option.
Since you will not be sharing a trailer with other companies or making multiple stops en route, your products will only be handled at two points — loading and unloading. Minimal handling reduces the risk of product damage or loss.
Regardless of your transportation solution, our experienced team will apply best practices and a commitment to exceptional service when handling your packages at every stage.
We are equipped with the assets and talent to offer flexible, customized solutions.
We can provide a range of methods to ensure products reach customers efficiently, no matter where they are in the country. For example, our intermodal solution is an option to use rail transport and deliver products over long distances in an economical, environmentally friendly way. We also offer port container drayage if you need a short-distance solution for hauling a large volume. Whatever your domestic transport needs are, we can meet them.
We understand the challenges of storing, handling and shipping perishables — and we also know how to beat these challenges. You can count on our refrigerated trailer transportation services and food-grade, temperature-controlled warehouses to keep your products safe throughout the journey.
