What's the difference between vehicle transportation and LTL transportation?

LTL is relative to the whole vehicle. According to the definition of relevant state departments, LTL goods refer to goods under 3 tons, which are divided into ordinary LTL, express mail and express delivery. However, in the actual market operation, the division between LTL and whole vehicle is basically based on whether a car can be filled. Sometimes, the price of LTL transportation is more than twice that of automobile transportation.

Explanation:

LTL transportation is a term of logistics transportation.

LTL is relative to the whole vehicle. In the actual market operation, the division between LTL and vehicle is basically based on whether a vehicle can be filled.

Basic concepts:

Less-than-one-load transportation: The goods that the consignor needs to transport are delivered as sporadic goods, and the transportation department collects the goods of different consignors at the same station before shipment. LTL transportation needs to wait for the whole car, so the speed is slow. In order to overcome this shortcoming, LTL buses with fixed routes and fixed time have been developed, and the flexibility of automobile transportation can be used to develop door-to-door LTL transportation.

Consignment regulations:

Provisions on LTL consignment: In order to facilitate loading and storage, each batch of LTL goods shall not exceed 300 pieces, and the minimum volume of each LTL goods shall not be less than 0.02 cubic meters (except for single pieces weighing more than 10 kg). Of course, this standard will change according to different LTL transportation companies. At present, China's LTL transportation industry is not perfect, so different carriers have different requirements for goods. For heavy or bulky goods, related operation fees will be charged separately, such as loading and unloading fees, crane fees, loading and unloading fees, etc.
