Heavy Hauling Made Simple
Reliable LTL and FTL Freight Services
What is the best freight solution for your business? The choice between Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) and Full Truckload (FTL) depends on your pallet count and urgency. Ship Central provides scalable options to ensure you never pay for more space than you need.
LTL (Less-Than-Truckload): Ideal for shipments between 1 and 6 pallets (typically under 10,000 lbs), allowing multiple businesses to share trailer space and reduce costs.
FTL (Full Truckload): A dedicated trailer for large, high-volume orders (10+ pallets), offering faster transit times and reduced handling for sensitive cargo.
Custom Freight Brokerage: We leverage our massive carrier network to negotiate deep volume discounts, passing the savings directly to our clients.
