With over 25 years of expertise, we specialize in transporting household goods, furniture, antiques, and more, across the U.S., Canada, and international destinations. Our multimillion-dollar partnerships with North America’s top carriers and custom packing expertise ensure your shipment arrives safely while saving you money. If you have household goods to ship, learn how we handle specific items with care.

What is LTL Shipping?

LTL (less-than-truckload) shipping allows multiple customers’ shipments to share space on a single truck, making it ideal for small moves that don’t require a full trailer. Unlike traditional parcel services like FedEx or UPS, LTL shipping handles larger, heavier items like furniture or office equipment, and unlike full-truckload services, it avoids the high costs of reserving an entire truck. Ship Smart’s LTL packing and shipping consolidates your goods with others heading in the same direction, offering an economical and efficient way to transport items over 300 miles, domestically or internationally.
