Shipments that are over four skids or 5,000 lbs. typically qualify for special volume rates. In other words, volume shipments are shipments that can be potentially better moved with carriers that consolidate shipments and deliver them in transit.
Partial truckload and volume LTL shipments are often grouped together due to many similarities between the two modes, but there are also some key differences. The major similarities between these two modes are that they are best for larger LTL shipments and are great for shippers who want to take advantage of shipping capacity within carrier networks.
The key difference between these two modes is that volume LTL shipments utilize a LTL carrier's infacstructure and network and partial truckload shipments utilize a full truckload carrier's equipment.
