Full Truck loads & Groupage 

A Full Truck Load (FTL) refers to a complete load in a truck. Either the truck is fully loaded with pallets from (only) one shipment or transport. As a result, the truck in question (almost without exception) has only one loading location and one unloading location. After all, no pallets need to be loaded or unloaded en route.

Groupage : When there is a smaller shipment size, or a transport that is smaller than a complete load, we speak of Less than Truck Load (LTL). A truck then drives with multiple shipments/transports from different clients. In that case, shipments are loaded and unloaded at different locations. Shipments up to 5 pallets are also called groupage shipments.
