Before you connect
Questions about LTL-FTL Comparator.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
How does the LTL-FTL Comparator help with shipping costs?
It calculates the cost per kg and identifies the exact weight where hiring your own truck becomes cheaper than sharing a load. This helps you avoid overpaying for LTL shipments.
Can I use LTL-FTL Comparator to find the best truck size?
Yes, it assesses how well your cargo fills a truck based on both weight and volume. This helps you choose the right size to maximize your capacity utilization.
Will the LTL-FTL Comparator help with cargo safety?
It does by weighing your cargo value against different shipping modes. It can recommend a dedicated truck (FTL) for high-value items to reduce the risk of damage from multiple stops.
How do I know when to switch from LTL to FTL?
You can use the capability to find your specific break-even point. It tells you the exact weight at which a dedicated truck starts making more financial sense than a shared load.
Does the LTL-FTL Comparator account for volume (CBM)?
Yes, it takes volume into account alongside weight. This ensures you don't book a truck that is too small for your cargo even if the weight is low.
Can I use the LTL-FTL Comparator for international shipping?
While it focuses on the math of truckload modes, you can use it to compare the costs and risks of different transport methods for your large international freight moves.
How is chargeable weight calculated in LTL?
The engine calculates volumetric weight by multiplying the volume (CBM) by a volumetric factor. The calculate_ltl_metrics capability then selects the higher value between the actual weight and this volumetric weight as the chargeable weight.
What is the break-even threshold?
The break-even threshold is the specific weight (in kg) where the total cost of an FTL shipment becomes lower than the cost of an LTL shipment. You can find this using the find_break_even_threshold capability.
Does the recommendation consider cargo risk?
Yes. The get_shipment_recommendation capability evaluates your specified riskTolerance. For example, if you have low risk tolerance and high cargo value, it may recommend FTL to minimize handling points.
