FTL and LTL Shipping in Portland and St. Louis
If you’re moving freight in Oregon, Washington, or the St. Louis area, you need a carrier who owns their equipment, knows their lanes, and shows up when they say they will.
That’s what FTL and LTL shipping with Bridgetown Trucking looks like.
We’re an asset-based carrier. We own our trucks. We employ our drivers. No brokers. No handoffs. No guessing who actually has your freight.
What FTL and LTL Actually Mean
Full Truckload (FTL) and Less than Truckload (LTL) aren’t complicated — but choosing wrong will cost you time and money.
FTL means your freight takes the whole trailer. One pickup. One destination. No extra stops.
Most loads run anywhere from 10,000 to 45,000+ pounds depending on freight type. It moves direct, with fewer touches and less risk.
LTL means your freight shares space with other shipments. It’s the right move for smaller loads, and when it’s handled correctly, it keeps costs down without turning delivery into a guessing game.
Not sure which one fits your load? Tell us what you’re shipping and where it’s going. We’ll give you a straight answer.
