Full truckload, abbreviated as FTL, refers to a shipping method whereby only one shipment is carried by truck. This means that the journey is only dedicated to a single shipment. FTL transportation holds various benefits compared to its alternative method, as it is less likely to be constrained by size and weight limitations.
