Partial Truckload Shipments

Partial Truckload Shipping at One Logistics Network

Partial Truckload (PTL) is a shipping solution where you only pay for the space your freight occupies in a truck, rather than booking the entire vehicle. This option is ideal for businesses that need to ship more than a small load but don’t have enough freight to fill a full truck. PTL is more cost-effective than Full Truckload (FTL) shipping, providing flexibility without sacrificing reliability or speed.
