In cases where more than 10,000 pounds of freight or 10 or more pallets are being shipped. One of the advantages of partial truckload is that freight is generally handled less, meaning that there are fewer opportunities for damage to occur in shipment. Because freight is delivered as soon as it is loaded (Load to Ride), transit times are generally pretty fast.
