When should I ship a full container load vs a less than container load?

Know when to turn to FCL versus LCL
 

There are many factors to consider before deciding whether to ship your cargo as a full container load (FCL) or as a less than container load (LCL).

Our post here further discusses what you need to ship FCL vs LCL. The most common reason is based on how much of a full container you’ll utilize. If you’ll utilize  less than 70% of the container, it may be less costly to ship via LCL. Our client support team is always happy to walk you through this selection process.
