Less-Than-Truckload (LTL)
Reliable, Affordable Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) Shipping Across Michigan
Looking to ship your products across Michigan without the hassle and cost of managing your own fleet? Professional Movers.com has you covered. With over 40 years of experience providing exceptional statewide Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) delivery services, we are Michigan’s premier solution for businesses requiring frequent and reliable freight transportation.
What is LTL Shipping?
With less than truckload shipping, multiple businesses can ship freight on the same truck. Your items are securely transported along with other companies’ LTL shipments. This allows you to ship cost-effectively without needing to fill an entire semi truck.
LTL shipping works by pricing out space based on the freight’s weight and distance traveled. Heavier items occupying more space generally have higher LTL shipping rates. Shipments are securely transported through relay points until they reach their destination. This relay system allows carriers to transport LTL shipments efficiently while keeping costs affordable.
Benefits of Choosing LTL Shipping:
- Cost Savings: LTL shipping costs less than full truckload methods, with quotes based on freight weight and mileage. You don’t pay for extra unused space.
- Flexibility: Get affordable access to trucking networks without a long-term contract. LTL shipping works for one-time moves or regular shipping.
- Reliability: LTL carriers like Professional Movers have dedicated routes and schedules to provide reliable transit times.
- Security: LTL freight travels in enclosed trailers safe from weather and road debris. Shipments are tracked until delivery.
- Scalability: Increase shipment frequency and volumes cost-effectively as your business grows.
- Accessibility: Make shipping heavy, bulky equipment more affordable even for small or mid-sized businesses.
