FTL Services

Dedicated core services

BBI's core FTL fleet covers the equipment types shippers rely on most.

Dry Van

Standard enclosed trailers for palletized, boxed, and general freight that needs protection from weather and handling damage during transport.

Refrigerated

Temperature-controlled trailers hold a precise range from pickup to delivery, built for perishable, food-grade, and pharmaceutical freight.

Flatbed

Open-deck trailers built for building materials, machinery, and oversized loads that load from the side or top rather than the rear.

Step Deck/Drop Deck

A lower deck height carries taller freight within legal limits, making this the go-to option for equipment and standard machinery that won't clear a standard dry van.

Conestoga

A retractable tarp system combines flatbed flexibility and enclosed-trailer weather protection.

Heavy Haul/Oversized

Specialized trailers and permitting support move freight beyond standard weight or dimension limits.

Specialized services

Expedited

Time-critical freight moves to the front of the queue with dedicated drivers and accelerated routing.

Hazmat/Haz-Waste

Certified drivers and compliant equipment handle hazardous materials and hazardous waste under full DOT requirements.

Cross Border

FTL services seamlessly extend into Canada and Mexico with carriers experienced in border documentation and customs coordination.

FTL SHIPPING FAQs

Frequently asked questions

ABOUT FTL

What is FTL shipping?
Full truckload shipping (FTL) is a transportation method where an entire truck's capacity is dedicated to a single shipment, making it a cost-effective and efficient choice for larger volume shipments.

What is the difference between full truckload (FTL) and less than truckload shipping (LTL)?
While FTL shipping uses an entire truck to transport a single shipment, LTL shipping carries multiple smaller shipments on one truck. FTL truckloads travel directly to their destination, while LTL shipping involves multiple stops.

When should I use full truckload shipping?
FTL shipping is best for larger shipments, time-sensitive freight, and/or fragile and high-value goods. Since FTL shipments occupy an entire truck, there are no stops along the way and less handling of goods.

WHY BBI?

What are the advantages of shipping FTL with BBI Logistics?
Shippers get a dedicated customer portal for real-time visibility, carrier vetting and fraud prevention screening, and dispatch support available after hours.

How do I get started shipping with BBI?

RATES & EQUIPMENT

What affects full truckload shipping rates?
FTL rates are based on distance, freight weight and dimensions, fuel costs, equipment types, seasonal freight volume, and how much capacity is available in a given lane at the time of pickup.

How much freight do I need to ship full truckload?
The threshold varies by commodity and packaging, but shipments of 10 or more pallets or roughly 20,000-45,000 pounds typically fill most or all of a 53-foot trailer.

What FTL equipment types does BBI Logistics offer?
BBI provides dry van, refrigerated, flatbed, step deck, Conestoga, and heavy load/oversized equipment.

Does BBI Logistics offer drop trailer service for FTL freight?
Yes. BBI's drop trailer network lets shippers load and unload on their own schedule.
