Domestic Transportation FAQ
What is the difference between LTL and FTL trucking?
- LTL (Less Than Truckload): Ideal for smaller shipments that don’t require a full trailer. Your freight shares space with other shipments, reducing costs but potentially extending transit time due to multiple stops.
- FTL (Full Truckload): Best for larger shipments or high-priority deliveries. Your freight moves directly from origin to destination with no additional stops, providing faster transit times and enhanced security.
What is drayage, and when is it needed?
Drayage refers to short-distance container transport between ports, rail terminals, and warehouses. It is a critical link in multimodal shipping, ensuring smooth transitions between ocean, rail, and trucking transport.
At CLM, the drayage services we arrange include:
- Port-to-warehouse and warehouse-to-port transfers.
- Expedited drayage for time-sensitive shipments.
- Customs clearance coordination to minimize delays.
