Washington, D.C. Full Truck Load (FTL) Freight

FTL Freight or Full Truck Load Freight is a great service for shipping companies / shippers to move freight from an origin to destination with some fairly strict rules. When considering FTL freight options, we look at speed, security, performance and the cost. Ultimately, FTL Freight offers significantly more control over other freight models (LTL and Partial). FTL Freight is great when you have 10 or more pallets or loads over 16,000 pounds; while these are the same for every load – they are typically fairly accurate.

Full Truck load shipping is great when you have specific pickup or delivery windows and require more attention to detail. Loads are dedicated, a single shipment with a single shipper to a single location – this approach provides more control over the load from point A to point B.

Washington, D.C. Full Truck Load (FTL) Freight Team Drivers & Accessorials

FTL freight also offers team drivers and accessorials to help move and secure your load. Drivers are limited by law (HOS – hours of service) how many hours or miles they can drive in a single day. If you need your FTL shipment moved faster, team driver options provide a way to double the output and cut the delivery times in half. Accessorials also help ensure that your load has the attention it needs. From tarps and tie-downs to specific driver based requirements; FTL Freight has options to help ensure your freight has the best possible journey.

Full Truck Load Process

Below is a standard flow for rating, booking, pickup, transporting, tracking and delivery of full truck load freight. This is not an exhaustive list, but provided as a baseline to move FTL freight.

FTL Freight Load Details – (typically: pickup date, origin zip code, destination zip code, truck type: dryvan, reefer or flatbed, and weight) from these details, we can move onto the next step.
FTL Freight Quote – the rate quote is typically created under two-core models. The spot market; which is based on the “going rate” for a specific lane or an availability quote; which is when a carrier / driver is available to pick up the load and a rate is negotiated.
Book the Load – Once the rate quote is approved by the shipper, the load is booked!
Tender the Load! This is when the shippers load is designated to a carrier and specific driver. From this point, ALL details of the FTL shipment have been defined and the next step is pickup. If there are any specific pickup details, pickup windows or other requirements – the driver is provided the details to ensure a smooth pickup transaction… and now tracking and transportation.
Tracking is turned on. While not every driver has automated tracking, most do. This allows all parties involved to keep tabs on the FTL location so schedules can be kept for delivery or issues that could cause challenges handled.
In-Route – the drivers do have limitation with HOS (hours of service), but typically max out the lanes to deliver based on agreed upon schedules. Team drivers do allow driving routes to be cut down in half, faster delivery when needed. Team driven FTL Freight loads can move at 2x the usual rate.
Delivery – once a load is ready for delivery, often appointments required or delivery windows to support the unloading efforts. Our goal is to always accommodate the receiver, while working closely with the original shipper and driver. To avoid additional costs associated with delivery, the best approach is to communicate effectively with all parties to deliver the Full Truck Load FTL shipment.

FTL Freight is great for time sensitive shipments that require specific pickup or drop-off times. The singular approach of moving all freight contents allows the driver to be focused on meeting specific dates and times for pickup or delivery.

FTL Freight also offers Team Driver options; which allows the freight to move at twice the rate of a single driver. This means that FTL Freight can move across the country at nearly 1,100 miles per day, without a potential HOS (hours of service) violation.
