Can I ship LTL without a pallet?
No. In the context of LTL shipping, it is highly recommended to use a pallet or another type of handling base. Palletizing goods for LTL shipments plays a crucial role in improving handling efficiency and ensuring the safety of the items during transportation. The use of pallets helps to minimize the risk of product damage and assists in maintaining the correct orientation of packages.
This is particularly important because LTL shipments typically involve multiple handling stages and different transportation vehicles, where the chances of mishandling and damage can be higher if goods are not securely palletized. Thus, for the most effective and secure transportation, palletizing your shipment is advisable.
