Truckload FAQs

The main difference between LTL (less-than-truckload) and truckload (FTL) shipping is how much of the trailer you use. LTL shipments share trailer space with other shippers' freight and are priced by the space, weight, and freight class they occupy. Truckload shipments fill — or reserve — an entire trailer for a single shipper and travel directly from pickup to delivery.

After you book, OD assigns an independent carrier and confirms pickup details with you. The carrier picks up at the origin and transports the freight directly to the destination — no service-center transfers, unlike LTL — and delivers door-to-door. You'll have a single OD point of contact for status updates throughout the move, and proof of delivery is made available once the shipment is signed for.

"Delivered" indicates that the freight has arrived at the consignee location. The specific trigger for the status update — whether it's set when the trailer arrives, when freight is unloaded, or when proof of delivery is signed — can depend on the carrier and shipment type. If you have questions about a specific shipment's status, contact OD Truckload Services at 877-562-3875 x3 or Truckload.Services@odfl.com.

OD Truckload provides dry van, flatbed, refrigerated (reefer), step-deck, conestoga, and oversized equipment through our network of pre-screened partner carriers. We can also coordinate door-to-door rail service for longer hauls, which often delivers significant savings on loads traveling over 1,000 miles with minimal additional transit time. OD Truckload is available across all 50 states, plus Canada and Mexico.
