Dedicated Full Truckload Transportation

Full truckload (FTL) shipping uses a dedicated truck and trailer for a single shipment moving directly from pickup to delivery. Because the trailer is not shared with other shipments, freight moves with fewer handling points and greater scheduling control.


FTL transportation is commonly used for large shipments that fill an entire trailer, time sensitive freight, or cargo that benefits from direct transport between facilities. BFT Trucking coordinates full truckload transportation by planning pickup schedules, selecting the appropriate equipment, and organizing routing to support efficient delivery across the United States.
