LTL without the hub-and-spoke damage.

Most LTL carriers route freight through three to five terminals before it reaches its destination. Each touch is an opportunity for damage, delay and lost paperwork. Carroll’s LTL operation favors direct routing wherever volume allows.

Cost efficiency for international shippers.

When a single container produces multiple inland destinations, LTL is often the most cost-effective answer. We consolidate, deconsolidate and dispatch from one location, keeping the cost-per-shipment competitive without sacrificing service.

The LTL model, explained

Only pay for the space you actually use.

Less-Than-Truckload shipping refers to the transportation of smaller shipments that don’t require the use of an entire truck. The remaining space is filled with freight from other shippers heading to the same or a nearby destination. You pay for the palettes, crates or product that fill your portion of the trailer. Nothing more.

Carroll’s LTL service reaches anywhere in the continental United States, with pickup out of the Port of Virginia and full visibility from origin to delivery. When your international container produces multiple inland destinations, LTL is often the most cost-effective way to get every consignee served.
