Not every shipment requires a full truck. ARC Logistics' Part Truck Load (PTL) service also known as Less than Truck Load (LTL) is a smart, cost-effective solution for businesses moving smaller quantities of goods. We leverage our extensive hub-and-spoke network across India to consolidate shipments from multiple clients destined for the same region, allowing you to pay only for the space your cargo occupies.
Our PTL service is designed to bring the same level of Professionalism and reliability to smaller shipments as we do for large-scale logistics. We utilize organized transshipment hubs where cargo is carefully sorted and loaded onto vehicles, ensuring that your goods are always moving via the most efficient routes. This service is ideal for SMEs and distributors with regular, smaller-volume requirements.
Managing PTL requires a sophisticated network and meticulous coordination. At ARC Logistics, we have perfected the art of consolidation. We ensure that your partial loads don't mean partial safety; every box and pallet is tracked and handled with the utmost care throughout its journey.
We maintain strict quality control at our transshipment centers to prevent cross-contamination or damage between different clients' goods. Our staff is trained in professional cargo stacking to ensure stability and safety during transit.
Yes, we generally have a minimum chargeable weight starting from 50kg to 100kg depending on the route. For very small parcels, we recommend our specialized courier partners, while PTL is best for commercial cargo.
Since PTL involves consolidation and transshipment at hubs, it may take 1 to 3 days longer than a direct FTL shipment. However, we provide clear transit time estimates for all major routes upfront.
Every consignment is assigned a unique tracking ID and is labeled at the point of pickup. We use a barcoded scanning system at every touchpoint (hub arrival, sorting, reloading) to maintain 100% accuracy and visibility.
