A Dedicated Transport Model for Large or Critical Shipments

FTL shipping is the ideal solution for companies that move large volumes, require exclusive trailer use, or need point-to-point movement without interruptions. Because the entire trailer is dedicated to a single shipment, freight moves faster, safer, and with greater control.

Freight Types Commonly Suited for FTL

  • Bulk inventory replenishment
  • Production materials and machinery
  • Oversized or pallet-dense shipments
  • Retail distribution and consolidated store loads
  • High-value packaged consumer goods

With direct, non-stop routing and minimal handling, FTL minimizes freight risks while maximizing delivery predictability.

Core Advantages of Full Truckload Shipping

FTL offers clear operational and cost advantages for businesses that ship consistently or in large volumes. With a dedicated trailer, companies benefit from faster transit, fewer touchpoints, and increased freight protection.

Key Advantages of FTL

  • Direct, non-stop point-to-point transportation
  • Lower risk of damage due to reduced handling
  • Cost-efficient per-unit rates for high-volume freight
  • Enhanced security with exclusive truck control

Lex Logistics strengthens these advantages using route optimization tools, vetted carriers, and real-time visibility systems.

When FTL Becomes the Superior Choice

  • Your shipment fills most or all of a trailer
  • Deadlines are tight or time-sensitive
  • Cargo requires minimal transfers or handling
  • Long-distance or high-value freight is involved
  • Supply chain consistency depends on fast movement

Lex Logistics also helps clients combine FTL and LTL in hybrid strategies to balance speed and cost.

Capacity Advantages and Consistent Carrier Support

A full truckload maximizes trailer space and supports heavy or irregular freight. Businesses that ship frequently gain predictable capacity and long-term planning stability.

  1. 1. Support for Heavy & High-Density Loads
    FTL enables shipping of machinery, pallet-dense cargo, and oversized freight without the limitations of shared capacity networks.
  2. 2. Consistent Loading & Unloading Practices
    Because freight remains in the same trailer, loading and unloading processes are standardized and predictable.
  3. 3. Strong Capacity During Peak Seasons
    Lex Logistics secures capacity even during seasonal spikes, helping customers maintain dependable cycles.

Our team evaluates freight profiles to build cost-optimized, capacity-matched truckload strategies for every lane.

Technology-Enhanced FTL Efficiency

Modern FTL shipping relies on digital tools that improve planning, visibility, and timeline accuracy. Lex Logistics integrates industry-leading platforms to keep shipments moving smoothly and predictably.

Workflow Automation

AI-powered systems assist with dispatching, route analysis, invoice processing, load matching, and document workflows.

These tools strengthen on-time performance while giving customers full confidence in every truckload movement.
