Trucks are highly flexible vehicles able to carry almost every type of cargo over short to medium distances.

  • The variety of modal options is related to the technical requirements to carry specific cargoes such as bulk, liquids, or containers. Trucks using chassis are able to carry domestic (usually 53 feet in North America) and ISO containers (20 and 40 feet).

  • Less than truckload (LTL) carriers usually consolidate and deconsolidate loads coming from different customers, which is common in the parcel carrying business. Truckload (TL) transportation carries large volumes that have been broken down into the largest possible truckload unit; several truckloads are required to fulfill an order.

  • On the other hand, truckload (TL) transportation focuses on carrying large volumes of cargo that have been aggregated into the most substantial truckload unit possible. It's a cost-effective solution for businesses with significant shipping needs. In many cases, fulfilling a large order may require several truckloads, emphasizing the scalability and adaptability of the trucking industry.

  • The trucking sector's diversity, flexibility, and ability to handle varying cargo types and shipment sizes make it an essential component of modern logistics and supply chain operations, ensuring the smooth movement of goods across short to medium distances.
