🚛 PARTIAL TRUCKLOAD (PTL) FREIGHT SERVICES

---

Hot Rate Freight provides flexible partial truckload solutions that reduce handling, improve transit times, and lower costs — without needing a full truck.

Partial truckload (PTL) is the middle ground between LTL and full truckload.

Your freight shares space on a truck — but without going through multiple terminals like LTL.

✔ Less handling = lower damage risk
✔ Faster transit times than LTL
✔ More cost-effective than booking a full truck

PTL is ideal when your shipment is too large for LTL but doesn’t require a full trailer.

Perfect for:

• 6–18 pallets 
• 5,000–25,000 lbs 
• Time-sensitive shipments that can’t afford LTL delays 
• Freight that shouldn’t be handled multiple times

This is where most brokers fall short — they don’t compare options.

We do.

• Faster transit (no terminal transfers) 
• Less risk of damage or loss 
• More consistent delivery windows 

• Only pay for the space you use 
• Lower cost than booking a full truck 
• Ideal for mid-sized shipments

At Hot Rate Freight, we don’t just quote partial — we evaluate every shipment across:

✔ LTL
✔ Partial Truckload
✔ Box Truck
✔ Full Truckload (FTL)

Sometimes:

• PTL is the perfect balance 
• FTL is faster and worth the cost 
• LTL makes sense for savings 

We guide you to the best option based on cost, speed, and reliability — not just what’s easiest to book.
