Full Truckload (FTL) Shipping Across the U.S. and Canada

SpeedUp Trucking dedicates one truck, one trailer, and one straight route to your freight, with no shared space and no detours to pick up someone else’s load.

Shared Trailer Space Costs You Time and Control

A full load ready to move doesn’t need a carrier that treats it like a puzzle piece, squeezing your pallets in alongside three other shippers’ freight. Every extra stop adds transit days and risk, especially when the trailer doors open at a consolidation dock you’ve never heard of.


That’s how a lot of “affordable” freight options work. Fine for a half-pallet shipment, but they fall apart the moment you need speed, consistency, or a guarantee your product isn’t handled five times before it reaches the customer.


Full Truckload shipping is a core lane for us. When your freight fills the trailer, or you just need the whole trailer to yourself, FTL means your load goes on the truck once, moves in a straight line, and comes off at destination the way it left. No LTL terminal stops, no reclassification headaches, no unnecessary handling. You get a dedicated truck, a dedicated driver, and a delivery window you can plan around.

What We Run

Our Full Truckload (FTL) Services

1. Dedicated FTL Shipping for Large Shipments

When your shipment fills a trailer on its own, there’s no reason to route it through a multi-stop network. We dispatch a dedicated truck for your large shipment, one pickup, one delivery, and a driver who isn’t juggling four other customers’ freight on the same run. This is the standard for full pallet loads, bulk product runs, and any shipment where speed and product integrity matter more than splitting the cost of shared space.

2. Cross-Border FTL Shipping, U.S. Canada

Moving a full truckload from Chicago to Toronto, or Seattle to Vancouver, comes with its own paperwork trail customs documentation, PARS/PAPS filings, and border-crossing timing that can make or break your delivery window. We coordinate that paperwork ahead of time, so your dedicated truck isn’t sitting in a queue at the border losing hours it doesn’t have to lose.

3. Time-Critical & Expedited Full Truckload Freight

Some large shipments can’t wait for a standard transit window. Whether it’s a just-in-time delivery for a manufacturing line or a retail shipment tied to a hard deadline, we match your load to a carrier who can commit to expedited pickup and a direct route, with no detours or added stops, just your freight moving as fast as the lane legally allows.

Frequently Asked Questions

FTL means your shipment gets an entire truck and trailer to itself, no other freight, no shared space. LTL (less-than-truckload) combines multiple shippers’ freight in one trailer, which usually costs less per pallet but adds transit time, handling points, and risk of damage from multiple loading and unloading stops. FTL is the better fit once your shipment is large enough to justify a dedicated truck, or when speed and product integrity matter more than splitting shipping costs.
As a general rule, if your freight fills roughly 10 or more standard pallets, or you need a guaranteed dedicated truck for time-sensitive delivery, FTL usually makes more sense than LTL. We can review your shipment details and tell you straight which option saves you money and time.
Yes, cross-border FTL is one of our core lanes. We manage the customs documentation and border paperwork in advance so your dedicated truck isn’t losing hours sitting at a crossing.
Pricing is based on distance, weight, fuel surcharge, and any cross-border or expedited requirements. We quote every lane individually in U.S. or Canadian dollars, with charges broken down so you know what’s driving the cost.
For urgent full truckload freight, our 24/7 dispatch team can typically arrange dedicated equipment within hours of your call, not days. We know a delayed pickup on a large shipment can throw off an entire supply chain.
Yes. Full Truckload capacity applies across our specialty lanes too, including tank containers, refrigerated freight, and oversize or overweight shipments that require a dedicated trailer rather than shared space.
