Less Than Truckload (LTL) Freight Services
Freight Efficient, Cost-Effective, and Reliable LTL Freight Shipping for Businesses of All Sizes
At American Guardian Freight, we know how crucial it is for your business to move goods efficiently — even when you don’t have a full truckload to ship. That’s why our Less Than Truckload (LTL) freight services are designed to help you save money, optimize supply chain operations, and keep your customers satisfied with timely deliveries.
We specialize in providing tailored freight solutions for partial loads, allowing you to ship smaller volumes while still receiving premium service. Whether you’re moving a few pallets across town or shipping crates coast-to-coast, we’re here to deliver LTL freight solutions that fit your budget and timeline.
What is Less Than Truckload (LTL) Freight?
LTL freight is a shipping method that allows multiple shippers to share space on the same truck. Instead of paying for an entire trailer, you pay only for the space and weight your shipment occupies. This makes LTL freight ideal for businesses shipping between 150 lbs. and 15,000 lbs. — too big for parcel carriers but too small for full truckload.
When you ship with American Guardian Freight, you benefit from:
- Shared transportation costs with other shippers
- More frequent shipments to better manage inventory
- Access to nationwide LTL carrier networks for broader reach
We act as your trusted freight brokerage partner, matching your shipment with the right LTL carrier, negotiating competitive rates, and coordinating all the details so you can focus on running your business.
Benefits of LTL Shipping
Businesses across industries rely on LTL freight shipping to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Here are some of the top benefits:
Lower Shipping Costs
Since you only pay for the portion of the trailer you use, LTL is significantly more cost-effective than booking a full truckload.
More Frequent Shipments
LTL allows you to ship smaller quantities more often, which helps reduce inventory carrying costs and increase cash flow.
Eco-Friendly
Consolidating shipments with other businesses reduces the number of trucks on the road, cutting fuel use and emissions.
Scalable Logistics
Whether you need to move a few pallets every week or once in a while, LTL gives you the flexibility to scale with your business needs.
