Road/ground freight involves transporting goods by truck without using containers. It's essential for supply chains worldwide, helping businesses move products efficiently. Both local and international sellers rely on ground freight to connect different segments of distribution networks.
Typically, this is done through Full Truckload (FTL) or Less-than-Truckload (LTL) services. FTL is used when shipping large quantities that fill an entire truck, while LTL is for smaller shipments sharing space with other goods.

Full Truckload (FTL)
FTL freight refers to the transport of goods that occupy the entire capacity of a truck. This mode of transport is ideal for large shipments that require the entire space of a trailer. Transocean Logistic's FTL service covers the entire transportation process of full truckload shipments from end to end. By combining cutting-edge transportation technology with extensive trucking services, we help you reach every point in your supply chain with ease, ensuring hassle-free shipping every time.
We offer value-added services such as multi-stop deliveries while also facilitating seamless integration with your existing distribution networks. With our FTL service, you can choose from a range of service levels that can be customized to meet your specific needs, while ensuring your cargo is always in safe hands.
Advantages of FTL Freight
- Cost-Effectiveness: FTL freight is often cheaper for large shipments that can fill or nearly fill an entire truck. This is because the shipper pays for the entire truck, eliminating the need for multiple trucks and reducing costs.
- Faster Transit Time: FTL freight typically has a faster transit time compared to LTL freight, as the truck is not making multiple stops along the way.
- Less Handling: FTL freight involves less handling, as the goods are not transferred between trucks during transit, reducing the risk of damage or loss.
Less-than-Truckload (LTL)
LTL freight, on the other hand, refers to the transport of goods that occupy less than the entire capacity of a truck. This mode of transport is ideal for smaller shipments that do not require the entire space of a trailer. Transocean Logistic's LTL service gives you the flexibility and convenience you need for smaller shipments. Our intricate trucking network enables us to efficiently handle low cargo volumes from end-to-end, connecting you to your entire supply chain network with precision and reliability.
With our LTL service, you can move your goods immediately, without having to wait for a full truckload. We also offer value-added-services such as time-definite trucking, expedited services and groupage options tailored to your specific requirements, giving your cargo the care it deserves all the way.
Advantages of LTL Freight
- Cost Savings: LTL freight can be more cost-effective for smaller shipments, as shippers only pay for the space they use.
- Flexibility: LTL freight offers flexibility in terms of route and timing adjustments, making it suitable for shipments with tight delivery schedules.
- Specialized Services: LTL freight providers often offer specialized services such as inside pickup and delivery, lift gates, and tracking features, which can enhance the safety and security of the shipment.
Choosing between LTL and FTL Road Freight 
There are several differences between LTL and FTL freight transport, it is important to consider the following before zeroing on your option –
Shipment Size – If you have small cargo units, not enough to fill the entire truck load, then LTL is usually the best option, except when your goods fall in high risk category.
Budget – Shipping with LTL, if you have smaller freight, can lead to significant reduction in your freight cost as compared to hiring a complete truck, that would be partially empty. But, if you have cargo large enough to fill an entire truck, FTL can prove to be cost effective.
Time – LTL freight takes more time as compared to FTL. This is mainly because, in LTL, the vehicle may take a slightly longer route, the frequency of stops may be more and transferring / repacking of goods may also be involved. In FTL, shipments usually have one origin and one destination point, making FTL a faster option.
Shipment type – While the size of the shipment is a factor, there are instances when some type of goods cannot share truck space with others, these are usually high risk, dangerous or delicate goods. In such cases, opting for a FTL is advisable, even when the shipment size is smaller.
Specialized Freight
Specialized freight refers to the transport of goods that require specialised equipment or handling due to their size, weight, or nature. This mode of transport is ideal for shipments that cannot be handled by standard FTL or LTL freight providers. Specialised freight offers several advantages, including:
Advantages of Specialised Freight
-
- Customized Solutions: Specialized freight providers offer customised solutions tailored to the specific needs of the shipment, ensuring that the goods are handled and transported safely and efficiently.
- Expertise: Specialised freight providers have the expertise and experience to handle complex and unusual shipments, reducing the risk of damage or loss.
- Reliability: Specialised freight providers often have a reputation for reliability, ensuring that the shipment is delivered on time and in good condition.
