What does FTL (full truckload) mean in logistics?
Short answer
A shipment that books an entire truck for one consignor, moving directly from origin to destination without intermediate handling. It is priced per trip for the vehicle, not per kilogram.
FTL is the default for Indian manufacturers moving more than roughly half a truck of cargo on a lane. Rates depend on vehicle type, lane direction, season and diesel price. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
