Full-Truckload (FTL) trucking is a dedicated shipping method where an entire truck is reserved for a single shipment, moving goods directly from pickup to the final destination.
FTL involves renting a complete truck to transport goods directly to their destination without any intermediate stops or transfers. This ensures the shipment remains in the same vehicle for the entire journey, which reduces handling and potential damage.

| Safety | Lower risk of damage as goods stay in one truck. | None. |
| Cost | Better cost efficiency per unit weight for large loads. | Higher total cost compared to LTL for smaller shipments. |
