Truckload TL
Term · Insurance and risk management · MLC-T-INS-003382
A shipping method where a single consignment occupies the entire capacity of a truck trailer, without sharing space with other shippers' goods.

TL shipments typically involve point-to-point delivery, reducing handling and transit times compared to less-than-truckload (LTL) services.
