When your shipment is too large for parcel freight but doesn’t quite fill an entire truck, Trueways Logistics offers our Part-Load Trucking solution — ideal for smart, economical movement of goods without paying for unused space.
Part-Load Trucking (also called Less-Than-Truck-Load or PTL) means your goods share space in a vehicle with other consignments, rather than occupying a full truck yourself. Trueways consolidates loads heading in similar directions, optimizing each truck’s capacity while reducing cost and environmental impact.
Cost Efficiency — You pay only for the space your cargo occupies (by weight, volume, or dimension), not for the whole truck. This offers significant savings for smaller shipments.
Flexibility — Suitable for shipments of varying sizes, types, and weights; whether you have a few pallets or a mid-scale load that doesn’t fill a full trailer.
Wider Reach — Because part loads are consolidated, routes and pickup/drop-off points are more numerous; enabling better reach into smaller locations or less-served areas.
Faster Turnaround vs Parcel Freight — While not as fast as a dedicated full-truckload, part-load services often deliver in reasonable transit times, especially when well-managed scheduling and routing are used.
Reduced Waste — More efficient use of fleet capacity, fewer empty kilometers — better for environment and resource utilization.
Request & Load Assessment
You provide the details: origin, destination, weight, volume, nature of cargo (packing, handling needs). Trueways identifies the best part-load options and provides a competitive quote.
Consolidation Planning
We coordinate with other part-load consignments heading in same or nearby direction, creating a consolidated load plan that maximizes truck utilization without undue delays.
Pickup & Handling
We arrange for pickup of your part of cargo and ensure proper packing, handling and securing — even though your shipment shares the vehicle with others, your goods are treated with full care.
Transit & Tracking
The consolidated load moves along planned route(s). Trueways offers real-time updates or periodic status reports to keep you informed of progress.
Delivery & Unloading
At or near the destination, your portion of the load is delivered. Unloading is coordinated carefully; proof of delivery and condition checks are done.
Documentation & Closure
We complete all necessary paperwork, delivery receipts, inspection reports, etc., to close out the shipment with transparency.
