LTL Freight Shipping – Frequently Asked Questions

What is LTL freight shipping?

LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight shipping allows multiple shippers to share space on the same trailer. You only pay for the portion you use, which makes it ideal for palletized freight that doesn’t require a full truck. Averitt has provided reliable LTL service for more than 50 years, helping businesses reduce costs while maintaining fast, damage-free delivery.
Where does Averitt provide LTL freight shipping?

Averitt’s LTL freight network covers the entire U.S. and extends into Canada and Mexico through trusted partners. Our regional strength lies across the South—supported by 85+ service centers, dedicated drivers, and modern facilities that connect seamlessly to our truckload, distribution, and international services.
Does Averitt offer guaranteed or expedited LTL service?

Yes. When speed and precision matter, Averitt offers guaranteed and expedited LTL freight shipping options. You can choose delivery by a specific date or even by noon through Averitt’s Guaranteed by Noon service—ideal for time-critical shipments that can’t afford delays.
What makes Averitt different from other LTL carriers?

Averitt simplifies logistics by combining LTL freight shipping with a full suite of supply chain solutions.

Does Averitt provide value-added or specialized LTL options?

Absolutely. Averitt offers a range of specialized LTL freight solutions, including final-mile residential delivery, pool distribution, and Local Customization services for regional flexibility. We’ll tailor a plan that fits your products, timelines, and customers.
