As a top freight trucking & international shipping company, RoadLINX offers LTL shipping across Canada and the U.S. Our extensive network of Canadian LTL carriers ensures efficient freight transportation with competitive shipping rates. From Toronto to Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, and beyond, we make less than truckload shipping freight in Canada faster, safer, and more affordable.
What is a Less Than Truckload?
Less than truckload freight, or LTL truck freight, refers to shipments that don’t require the use of a full truck. An LTL freight shipment is typically between 150 and 10,000 lbs. Instead of booking a full truckload, less-than-truckload allows you to share space with other shippers, lowering your shipping costs and increasing flexibility.
If you’re unsure whether your cargo qualifies as LTL, reach out — our shipping experts will help determine the best option for you.

- Have consistent but smaller shipments
