Sometimes you’ll have freight that is too large to send with a parcel provider, like the US Postal Service, but too small to fill a standard truck. Most often, trying to move your freight as a parcel or truckload shipment would be costly because it’s not the ideal size for those providers. This is where LTL shipping comes in! LTL is an industry acronym that stands for “less-than-truckload”. LTL refers to those shipments that are, quite literally, less than a truckload. They do not need all the space provided in a standard truck trailer because of their size and/or weight. In this case, you’ll find using an LTL carrier is more cost-effective than using a truckload carrier for your freight.

The shipping industry as a whole accounts for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Decarbonising the maritime industry in line with the Paris Agreement is essential to fighting climate change, and key to facilitating the decarbonisation of many other industries. This requires systemic industrywide change, the complexity of which cannot be understated. Many aspects of the transition to zero-carbon shipping are necessarily long-term endeavours, such as the development of green technology for a new generation of vessels. However, certain shortterm changes can be implemented to help accelerate this transition over the coming decade, until such technological solutions have matured.

The Covid-19 pandemic, plant shutdowns, delays at borders and transportation bottlenecks have all come together in a perfect storm to create an unprecedented level of disruption in global supply chains. Torpedoed delivery schedules and material shortages have become the norm rather than the exception. All these factors have highlighted the importance of effective supply chain management to keep global commerce moving. Importantly, they have also accelerated the widespread adoption of best practices that are integral to a sustainable supply chain.
