LTL (Less Than Truckload) in E-Commerce & Last Mile Delivery
E-commerce trucking is the fastest-growing sector in the transportation industry, driven by the explosive growth of online shopping. This sector includes two main segments: linehaul (moving freight between fulfillment centers on semi-trucks) and last-mile delivery (using box trucks and sprinter vans to deliver packages to homes and businesses). Amazon, FedEx, and UPS together operate over 100,000 delivery vehicles and thousands of semi-trucks.
LTL drivers handle freight that doesn't fill an entire trailer, making multiple stops per route to pick up and deliver shipments from different shippers. This segment is the highest-paying for company drivers because LTL carriers like Old Dominion, FedEx Freight, Estes, Saia, and ABF Freight offer top-tier wages, full benefits, and union opportunities.
