LTL Trucking

West Coast Carriers is aware you have options when choosing an LTL trucking company to haul your freight. Where we excel above the rest is in our experience to handle LTL trucking situations in a cost-effective manner. Our customer representatives know the various types of transport equipment and choosing the best vehicle is an integral part of obtaining the best freight rate for your dry products. If the incorrect trailer is being used, you could wind up paying a much higher cost.

LTL trucking is the smartest approach to delivering your dry goods in a timely and cost-efficient manner when Full Truckloads are not possible. Of course, Full Truckloads (FTL) give you full access to a truck dedicated to transporting only your freight, and typically, the rate is per mile. However, if your freight does not fill up an entire 48 ft. or 53 ft. trailer, we may recommend you look to LTL as an option. Our experienced representatives will need to know the number of pieces/pallets and the weight of your commodities to determine if LTL is the best solution.
