Fixed-Rate Reefer LTL Solutions for Volume Orders

FST follows a linear foot rule meaning if your business moves 10 or more pallets, FST’s volume rate structure can provide tiered savings, predictable cost and reliable capacity for your larger less-than-truckload shipments.

Most transportation companies will overprice or be unwilling to handle mid-sized dry and refrigerated LTL shipments (5-20 pallets). FST will not only move them for you, but our volume less-than-truckload program will deliver high value by hitting tight delivery windows and reducing your overall cost.

LTL Frequently Asked Questions

Less-than-truckload is a shipping service for lower quantities of freight from point A to point B. A full truckload is around 26 pallets, less-than-truckload usually runs around 1-12 pallets

LTL and freight consolidation will generally ship around the same quantity of freight but differ when it comes to how they are delivered to their end users.

  • Freight consolidation consists of a multi-stop model where the freight is loaded once and unloaded once, reducing the amount of touches.
