LTL Freight That's Fast,
Reliable, and Cost-Smart.
Don't pay for trailer space you don't need. Carolina Expressways connects you with vetted LTL carriers to move your smaller shipments efficiently — with the same visibility and accountability we bring to every load.
LTL at a Glance
What Is Less Than Truckload (LTL) Freight?
Less Than Truckload shipping means your freight shares trailer space with other shippers' cargo. You pay only for the space your shipment occupies — making it the most cost-effective option for loads that don't fill an entire truck.
LTL carriers consolidate multiple shipments heading in the same direction, moving your freight through a network of regional terminals. It's ideal for palletized cargo, partial loads, and regular smaller shipments where speed is important but not as critical as cost efficiency.
Carolina Expressways manages your LTL shipments with the same precision we bring to FTL — carrier selection, rate negotiation, BOL management, claims handling, and proactive tracking — so you're never left guessing where your freight is.
When to Choose LTL
- Your shipment weighs under 15,000 lbs or occupies less than half a trailer
- You want to reduce shipping costs by sharing carrier capacity
- You ship regularly but in smaller volumes — weekly or bi-weekly loads
- Your freight is palletized and properly packaged for terminal handling
- You can accommodate a 2–5 day transit window vs. direct FTL delivery
- You need nationwide reach without committing to a dedicated truck
