A big niche is LTL, or partial loads. LTL stands for Less-than Truck Load, it means that a shipper has product to move but not enough to fill up a full truck (TL is Truck Load). An LTL Freight Broker will often only find one or two partial loads to put on a truck, while the carrier uses their client base and connections to fill the rest of the trailer. Per square foot of trailer space, LTL shipments often pay more than TL freight but it’s definitely less than ordering a full truck, if you only have one pallet to ship.
