Partial Load Shipping

Partial Load & LTL Flatbed Shipping Nationwide

Partial load shipping lets you move freight that does not fill an entire trailer without paying full truckload rates. If your steel, machinery, or building materials only take up part of a flatbed or step-deck, Quickway Transports consolidates your freight with other compatible loads running the same lane, so you pay only for the space and weight you actually use. We are an FMCSA-licensed freight broker with a nationwide network of flatbed and step-deck carriers.

Whether you have a single crated machine, a bundle of pipe, or an oversized partial that will not fit a dry van, we match it to a carrier already headed your direction. Partial truckload and flatbed LTL freight is quoted by space, weight, and lane. One call covers the quote, the carrier, any permits an oversized partial needs, and delivery across all 48 contiguous states.

FAQ

Partial Load & LTL Flatbed Shipping: Common Questions

Partial load shipping (also called partial truckload or volume LTL) moves freight that takes up only part of a trailer. Instead of paying for a full truckload, your freight shares the deck with other compatible loads running the same lane, and you pay based on the space and weight you use. It is ideal for shipments that are too large or heavy for standard LTL but do not fill a full trailer.

Standard LTL moves palletized freight through a hub-and-spoke network with multiple handling stops. Partial truckload and flatbed LTL keep your freight on one trailer from pickup to delivery, which means fewer touches, less damage risk, and open-deck capability for steel, machinery, and oversized items that will not fit a dry van.

Partial and LTL flatbed rates are based on the space (deck feet) and weight your freight occupies, the lane, and any permits an oversized partial requires. Because you only pay for your portion of the trailer, partial loads are usually far cheaper than booking a full truckload. Submit your freight details for an accurate quote.

Yes. We regularly move over-width and over-length partials on flatbed and step-deck trailers and handle any oversize or overweight permits the route requires. You still pay only for the portion of the deck your freight uses.
