How does UPS Freight LTL work?
How does LTL freight work? LTL freight works by using a network of trucks to pick up smaller freight loads and bring them to a local terminal to be unloaded, sorted, and reloaded onto an outbound truck with other shipments moving in a similar direction to form a full truckload of cargo.
