FTL is ideal for shipments over 10 pallets, 15,000+ lbs, or when you need exclusive use of a trailer. It's perfect for time-sensitive deliveries, high-value freight, or when you want to avoid multiple handling points that occur with LTL shipping.

FTL rates depend on distance, weight, equipment type (dry van, reefer, flatbed), fuel costs, and current market demand. Our calculator provides instant estimates based on real-time market data. Typical costs range from $1.50-$3.00 per mile depending on these factors.

You'll need: pickup and delivery locations (zip codes), total weight and dimensions, commodity type, equipment type needed (dry van, reefer, flatbed), pickup/delivery dates, and any special requirements like liftgate service or inside delivery.

FTL transit times typically range from 1-5 days depending on distance. Short hauls under 500 miles often deliver next day, while cross-country shipments take 3-5 days. FTL is faster than LTL since there are no stops to pick up or deliver other freight.
