Can you explain the difference between an LTL and a Dedicated driver please?

You're doing the samething as Ltl (less then loaded) .. Usually when ppl say LTL they mean freight companies FedEx but your home every day.

 

Well and plus you said dedicated where you're going to the same stores every time . You know something ain't no difference really because LTL is LTL. LESS THAN TRUCKLOAD. Lol... I forgot what it means. . But you have a dedicated ltl route.

 

Generally speaking LTL (less than truck load) refers to multiple customers shipping goods on the same truck/trailer. If this happens with a certain frequency then it becomes a Dedicated Run to the trucking company holding the service contract.

 

I thought LTL stood for Little Tiny Loads? I read that on the Internets

 

I've delivered 1 single can of spray paint with a a long box, up to 20+ ft bundles of pipe. Just another day in the life of LTL

 

Obviously then, that is what it stand for. If you read it on the internet, it must be gospel!

Or everything from poinsettias, to a coffin. (Hopefully, the coffin was empty. . .)

 

The bills for coffins actually specify 'empty.' Well it dang well better be, because I don't think I'm authorized to transport the full ones!

 

Nearly every plane coming out of florida has one or more bodies on board.

 

And one reason the pay is different is the shipper / revenue stream. Would you be surprised if I told you that one pup from Houston to Dallas could be worth as much as 50K ? Yep, 28000lbs of little boxes from different shippers to different receivers.....not hard to see......consider UPS.....

VS

Say a full van load from a distributor of many products like Weiner man running dollar general.....he lets off all kinds of products at several stops.......a milk run....

Just sayin....
