National Logistics Network offers quality less than truckload (LTL) freight shipping services with our LTL trucking company. Our network provides access to hundreds of LTL carriers around the country. You save money shipping your LTL material with us because of our LTL trucking company's volume of business with these carriers.
LTL shipping services can save you money and provide you with a number of accessorial services typically not offered by other LTL trucking companies. These optional services include lift gate service at pickup or delivery, residential (also known as "non-commercial") service at pickup or delivery, inside delivery, notification prior to delivery, freeze protection, and others. These services are usually billed at a predetermined, flat fee, or for a weight-based surcharge calculated as a rate per pound or hundredweight.
In addition to our LTL trucking company services, we also offer full truckload (FTL) freight shipping services. In need of LTL freight shipping services? Contact National Logistics Network today!

What is a shipping class?
In the U.S., every item shipped is categorized under a National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) and corresponding class for LTL shipments. The NMFC is a standardized system used to give customers a streamlined pricing structure for transporting freight. Every item National Logistics Network ships is classed based on its density and sensitivity. Get started with our customized LTL shipping services today.
What is the difference between LTL and FTL? Are there specific situations in which one would be a better option than the other?
The difference between LTL and FTL are simple. Less than truckload (LTL) is used when a shipment of goods does not require the entire capacity of a truck. Full truckload (FTL) is just that: a shipment that takes up a full truck. FTL may also be used to ensure no other company's goods are being shipped with yours.
Why should my company use your LTL services as opposed to someone else's?
Because our network provides access to hundreds of LTL carriers around the country, you save money shipping your LTL material. We can also provide you with a number of accessorial services typically not offered by other LTL trucking companies, such as lift gate service at pickup or delivery, residential service at pickup or delivery, inside delivery, and much more.
