LTL Freight Shipping for Smaller Loads
Not every shipment requires a full truck. Less Than Truckload shipping helps businesses move smaller freight shipments without paying for unused trailer space.
SIOX Logistics provides LTL freight shipping services across the United States, coordinating shipments through regional and national LTL freight carriers. For palletized freight moving between warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities.
Our LTL carrier network supports shipments moving across major freight corridors including California, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Ohio and many more, helping businesses ship freight between regional markets and national distribution hubs.
By consolidating freight from multiple shippers, LTL shipping allows businesses to transport smaller loads while maintaining reliable transit schedules.
Understanding LTL Freight Transportation
Less Than Truckload shipping refers to freight transportation where multiple shipments from different companies share space on the same trailer. Instead of paying for an entire trailer, businesses only pay for the portion of trailer space used. LTL freight is commonly used for shipments that range from one pallet to several pallets.
LTL shipping is often used when:
- Freight does not fill an entire trailer
- Shipments weigh between 150 and 15,000 lbs
- Businesses ship smaller loads regularly
- Freight moves between regional distribution centers
Thousands of LTL shipments move across the United States each day, connecting manufacturers, retailers, warehouses and suppliers. Reliable LTL freight carriers and regional trucking networks help move smaller shipments efficiently between cities and distribution hubs.

Move smaller shipments efficiently with Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) shipping, where multiple businesses share space in one truck instead of booking a full trailer. This option helps companies ship pallets or partial loads without paying for unused trailer space.
For example, a manufacturer shipping 6 pallets instead of 26 can use LTL to reduce transportation costs while still reaching regional or national destinations.
When to choose LTL: Use LTL when freight typically ranges from 150 to 15,000 lbs and does not fill an entire trailer.
