Understand What LTL Shipping Means

Less‑than‑truckload (LTL) shipping is ideal for shipments that are too large for parcel carriers (like UPS/FedEx) but don’t fill an entire trailer. LTL consolidates your goods with others in a shared trailer, making it cost-efficient and environmentally friendly

When it comes to shipping large or palletized items, many Canadian businesses believe the process is complex and costly. But at FlagShip, we make freight shipping simple, efficient, and affordable. Whether you’re moving a single skid or a full truckload, our Freight LTL services offer full coverage across Canada and the U.S., backed by over 20,000 freight carriers including options like rail, expedited truck shipping, and overseas freight.

Plus, we prepare your Bill of Lading and track your shipment daily—so you can focus on your business while we handle the logistics.
