Partial Cargo Transportation

Partial transportation, also known as less than truckload (LTL) transportation, refers to the logistics of transporting goods, products, or loads from different customers located on the same route using the same transportation vehicle. In the context of partial transportation, the term "partial" is synonymous with "piece," and it involves carrying smaller shipments that do not fill the entire capacity of a transportation vehicle. For example, in road transport partial transportation, it entails the scenario where the belongings of different individuals traveling from Istanbul to Ankara are carried in a single truck or lorry. The fundamental objective of partial transportation is to load all requested shipments along the same route onto the same vehicle, even if the total cargo quantity does not fill the entire capacity of the transport vehicle. When a customer has the need to send products to any desired region in any desired quantity, and if this demand does not fill the capacity of a transportation vehicle (container, plane, truck, lorry, van, or wagon), the service requested from logistics companies is defined as partial transportation. In summary, partial transportation efficiently utilizes available space on transportation vehicles to cater to the needs of different customers with shipments traveling in the same direction.
