Reliable LTL Freight Brokers for Truckload Shipping

An LTL freight broker helps shippers move freight that does not require an entire trailer by matching shipments with qualified less-than-truckload carriers. Sims Global Solutions also evaluates when LTL freight may be better moved as volume LTL, partial truckload, full truckload, or intermodal to reduce handling, improve transit times, and lower claim risk.

LTL shipping works best for smaller palletized shipments, while truckload is often better when freight fills most of a trailer, needs less handling, or requires tighter transit control. Sims Global Solutions compares shipment size, lane, timing, accessorials, and carrier options to determine whether LTL, partial, truckload, or intermodal provides the strongest value.

A broker can lower freight costs by comparing carrier rates, consolidating shipments, selecting better modes, and reducing unnecessary accessorial charges. Sims Global Solutions uses direct API integrations with more than 70 LTL carriers and access to 35,000+ truckload carriers to identify competitive options based on lane, capacity, service level, and shipment requirements.

Partial truckload is ideal for shipments that are larger than standard LTL but do not need a full trailer. It often means less freight handling than traditional LTL and can reduce damage risk. Sims Global Solutions uses partial truckload and volume LTL options to create cost-effective solutions for mid-sized freight moving across regional or national lanes.
