FTL vs LTL: which truck booking is right for your shipment?

FTL vs LTL: which truck booking is right for your shipment?

How to choose between a full truckload and a partial load in the UAE, based on volume, weight, budget and delivery time.

Choosing between a full truckload (FTL) and a partial load (LTL) affects both your cost and your delivery time. Here is a simple way to decide.

Choose FTL when

  • Your goods fill more than half of a 12–13.6 m trailer, or weigh more than about 10 tonnes
  • The delivery is urgent and must go direct
  • The cargo is fragile or high-value and should not be handled again

Choose LTL when

  • You are shipping a few pallets or cartons
  • Your delivery date is flexible by a day
  • You want to pay only for the space you use

Not sure? Send us the number of pallets, the weight and the route. Our dispatch team will recommend the cheaper option that still meets your date.
