LTL and What is Most Cost Effective

Logistics terminology can often be confusing and changing. LTL is rising in demand with the e-commerce boom and people wanting to ship smaller packages throughout Indonesia.

• LTL is defined as a ‘Less Than Truck Load’.
• This means that for any shipment that does not require a full truck, and can be moved in one movement.
• There are lots of different companies that manage parcels, which normally only range up to 50kg. Once above this weight it will be up to the company to decide their price rates.

How they are measured

The most common way of measuring LTL is that of cost per kilogram. Majority of logistics vendors will use this measurement, but there are exceptions.

Some companies, mainly international freight will use the measurement of cost per CBM. This is dependent on the mode of transport.

Why Choose LTL?

For a person shipping over 20kg, and in need of a shipment but do not require a full vehicle, this is when LTL is most effective.

Is it Cost Effective?

For a person that does not need large space, LTL can be highly cost effective, especially if the goods is a large size but only a small weight (such as a box with lots of packaging, foam etc.).
