What it means

LTL (Less Than Truckload) refers to shipments that do not fill an entire truck. LTL services are cost-effective for smaller shipments but more time-consuming than Full Truckload (FTL). Sellers should consider LTL options for inbound shipments to Amazon to optimize transportation costs.
