Why do manufacturers prefer Full Truck Load (FTL) over shared transport?

FTL reserves the entire vehicle body exclusively for one shipper's consignment, eliminating intermediate hub transhipment, reducing cargo handling steps, and moving directly from loading bay to consignee unloading point.

Who arranges loading and unloading labour in FTL movements?

Unless explicitly requested and quoted in advance, standard FTL commercial bookings expect factory/warehouse loading by the sender and unloading by the consignee within agreed free detention hours.

Exclusive Vehicle Allocation Without Hub Transhipment

When your consignment fills a substantial portion of a commercial vehicle—or when fragile, high-value, or time-sensitive B2B inventory must travel sealed from your factory gate directly to the buyer's premises—Full Truck Load (FTL) is the preferred surface mode.

PP VELOCITY WORLDWIDE SHIPPING coordinates dedicated vehicle placement across LCVs, 14ft / 17ft / 19ft / 22ft commercial trucks, and 32ft single/multi-axle closed container bodies depending on load weight, cubic volume, and corridor availability.

Frequently Asked Questions — Full Truck Load

FTL dedicates the entire vehicle exclusively to one shipper's consignment, avoiding hub sorting delays and reducing the risk of carton scuffing during repeated loading and unloading.

Standard commercial FTL quotations cover vehicle transport from point of loading to point of unloading; factory/warehouse labour or forklifts are typically provided by the consignor and consignee unless special handling is requested beforehand.
