FTL and LTL in Ground Freight: What’s the difference? | Gargaa Trans

The Strategic Choice of Your Transport

In the world of road freight in Morocco, two terms often come up to define the type of load: FTL and LTL. Choosing the right option can significantly impact your logistics costs and delivery times.

FTL (Full Truck Load)

FTL involves chartering an entire truck exclusively for your goods. It is the ideal option if you have enough volume to fill a semi-trailer (e.g., 20-30 pallets) or if you are transporting fragile products requiring reduced handling. The major advantage is speed: the truck goes directly from your collection point to your destination without intermediate stops.

LTL (Less than Truck Load)

LTL, or groupage, is the solution for shipments of small or medium quantities (from 1 to 10 pallets for example). You only pay for the space effectively occupied in the truck, sharing the rest of the trailer with other customers. It is an extremely cost-effective option for Moroccan SMEs that do not need a full truck but want to benefit from competitive rates.
