What Is Volume & Footage LTL?
Volume LTL (also called footage-based LTL) prices your shipment based on the linear feet or volume it occupies in the trailer rather than an NMFTA freight class. This approach:
- Eliminates freight class reclassifications and associated fees
- Provides transparent, predictable costs
- Is cost-effective for larger LTL loads that would otherwise be expensive to ship via standard class-based LTL
- Avoids linear-foot caps and surprise accessorial charges
When to Use Volume LTL
- Shipments of 5 to 14 pallets
- Freight weighing over 4,000 to 10,000 pounds
- High-density or hard-to-classify freight
- Loads that frequently trigger reclassifications with standard carriers
