LTL SHIPPING
SOLUTIONS

Less-Than Truckload Shipping

Less-than-Truckload (LTL) is the smart choice when your shipment doesn’t fill an entire trailer, when you’re balancing cost and speed, or when you need flexible pickup and delivery windows across multiple locations. By leveraging a hub-and-spoke terminal network, LTL carriers consolidate freight moving in the same lanes, so you pay only for the space you use. While LTL involves more handoffs than a dedicated truck, thoughtful packaging and optimized routing help protect freight and keep ETAs predictable—reducing waste, paperwork confusion, and avoidable delays for your team and your customers.

With AFS, you don’t just get access to carriers—you benefit from $1B+ in annual freight spend that secures leading discounts and dependable capacity across the country. We make LTL a streamlined experience end to end: competitive rating informed by real-time carrier performance, proactive communication that flags exceptions before they escalate, and live visibility from tender through proof of delivery—so you’re never guessing where a pallet stands.

Our coordinators handle classing and dimensions, appointments and accessorials (e.g., liftgate, residential, limited access), and claims support, while our platform centralizes real-time status, documents, BOLs, and PODs in one place. Whether the job calls for standard LTL, volume/partial options, guaranteed or expedited services, or temperature-controlled capacity, we align carrier and service level to your priorities—cost, speed, or service—helping you save more while keeping freight moving smoothly.
