Less-than-Truckload or LTL common carriers move many different customer’s shipments on the same truck. Many of these carriers operate on a hub-and-spoke system. This means that they have a local terminal that is responsible for picking up a shipment and then moving all of their shipments into a main shipping hub for their particular region to be sorted and sent to a final destination terminal for delivery.
