Loose Cargo Delivery

Loose cargo are cargoes that do not require packaging and/or their dimensions do not allow for containerization. Most loose cargo are transported on land through the use of flat bed trailers or other specialized trailers.

Loose cargo are commonly mistaken for less-than-container load (LCL) cargoes. The difference is that LCLs are usually encased on pallets and are shipped via containers, whereas loose cargo are loaded for transport without the use of containers.
