Powering large freight shipments across North America
When shipments require the capacity of an entire trailer, full truckload (FTL) shipping provides a direct and efficient way to move freight. ACF Global Logistics coordinates truckload shipments across domestic and cross-border routes, supporting businesses transporting high-volume freight, industrial equipment, and large palletized loads.
Freight is shipped through established carrier networks and routed efficiently across regional and national lanes. Along the way, our proprietary technology platform records shipment milestones across transit, providing real-time visibility from pickup through final delivery.

Helping you navigate truckload shipping
What is full truckload (FTL) shipping?
Full truckload shipping is used when a shipment requires most or all of a trailer’s capacity. Freight travels directly from origin to destination without being consolidated with other shipments.
When should a shipment use full truckload instead of LTL?
FTL is often used for large shipments, high-value freight, or cargo that benefits from direct transit. Using a full trailer can reduce handling and help maintain consistent transit schedules.
What types of freight move best by truckload?
Truckload shipping is commonly used for palletized goods, industrial equipment, manufacturing materials, and large distribution shipments. It works well for freight that fills a trailer or requires dedicated space.
Can ACF Global support cross-border truckload shipments?
Yes. We support truckload shipping across U.S., Mexico, and Canada trade lanes. Documentation and border requirements are handled as part of the transportation process.
How do I track my truckload shipment?
Truckload shipments are tracked through ACF Global Logistics’ proprietary technology platform. Shipment milestones and updates provide visibility throughout transit.
Do you offer both short-haul and long-haul truckload shipping?
Yes. Truckload services include regional, local, and long-distance freight movement. Shipments can move across metropolitan areas or across national and cross-border routes.
How do I get a quote for truckload shipping?
A quote can be requested by providing shipment details such as origin, destination, freight type, weight, and trailer requirements. This information allows routing and pricing to be determined.
How much freight can fit in a full truckload shipment?
A standard full truckload trailer typically carries up to 26 standard pallets or around 40,000–45,000 pounds depending on the trailer type and freight configuration. Shipment dimensions, weight, and equipment requirements can affect the exact capacity available.
