FTL vs FlockDirect® Shared Truckload (STL)
FTL is a great choice when:
- You have enough freight to fill an entire 53' truck
- You are okay with shifting delivery dates in order to fill the truck
- You require "exclusive use" of the trailer
FlockDirect® is better when:
- You have between 4 pallets and 24 pallets, but you want truckload service
- You are looking to minimize delays by shipping goods as soon as they are ready
- You want to save money and reduce your carbon emissions
