This is a suitable shipping solution for freight that can fill a truck, so you can maximize the value of the shipping cost. Additionally, this service can increase the safety of your cargo as it is handled less mid-transit.

Less than Truckload
Less-than-truckload (LTL) is a shipping solution that allows you to ship smaller loads of freight at a reasonable price. This service combines shipments from multiple vendors to spread the cost of a whole truck load. This allows you to pay only for the space your cargo is occupying while letting you ship more frequently as needed. At TMS, our LTL service provides multiple carrier and service options, so you can choose the option that best fits your cargo needs. To find more information about our LTL service, click learn more.

LTL Consolidations
LTL-consolidation is an affordable and safer shipping solution for LTL and Volume-LTL. This service combines shipments from multiple companies that are moving towards a similar destination.

At TMS, our LTL-consolidation service can deliver from South Florida to all points in the US. To find more information about LTL-consolidation, click learn more.
