What it means

TL (Truck Load) is a fully utilized truckload of freight, typically 20-25 tonnes. TL shipping is cheaper per unit than LTL (Less Than Truckload). Large sellers with high volume should optimize toward TL shipping by consolidating shipments. Negotiating TL rates with logistics providers can yield significant savings.
