Cold Chain Logistics: LTL

Quality delivery of refrigerated and frozen LTL (Less Than Truckload) shipments demands a higher level of expertise from your shipping partner. While frozen and refrigerated FTL (Full Truck Load) shipments typically pick up and deliver without multiple stops, warehousing and divided temperature controlled units, LTL shipments can and do require these additional steps resulting in a more sensitive and complicated cold chain.

Because LTL shipments are smaller--usually 1-6 pallets and under 10,000 pounds--they travel to their destinations with other shipments. This means more stops, more handling, longer transit times, and more opportunities for error. And everyone knows that there is little room for error in the specialized and highly regulated world of cold chain logistics.
