FTL
Full Truckload
When your shipment fills a trailer — or when it simply can't share one — full truckload is the fastest, safest way to move it. One truck, one driver, one door-to-door run.
With FTL, your freight is loaded once at your dock and unloaded once at its destination. No terminals, no cross-docking, no other shippers' cargo pressed against yours. That means faster transit, dramatically lower damage risk, and a delivery window you can actually plan around.
Every Action Express truckload runs with live GPS tracking and a dedicated rep who knows your account. If anything threatens the schedule — weather, traffic, a dock delay — you hear it from us first, with a recovery plan already in motion.
We aren't limited to a fleet of our own, and that's the point: we source from a vetted carrier network deep enough to put a trailer at your dock same-day or next-day, in whatever equipment the load actually needs. During your peak season, clients on our priority list get capacity commitments locked in ahead of time.
What you get
Door-to-door, no transfers
Loaded once, unloaded once. Your freight never sits in a terminal.
Same/next-day capacity
A deep vetted carrier network — a truck when you need one, not when a fleet frees up.
Live GPS on every load
Watch your trailer move in real time — no check calls needed.
Dedicated account rep
One person who knows your docks, your hours, your freight.
Common questions
How fast can you have a truck at my dock?+
Same-day is often possible depending on lane and booking time; next-day is standard. Expedited pickups can be arranged in hours — call dispatch for a firm time.
Do you handle drop trailers?+
Yes — for regular shippers we arrange drop trailers positioned at your facility so your team loads on your schedule, not the driver's.
What if my freight doesn't fill a trailer?+
If you're under ~10 pallets, LTL is usually more economical — see our Less Than Truckload service, or ask your rep to price both.
Do you run truckloads between Canada and the US?+
Yes — cross-border is a core lane for us, in both directions, through eight major crossings. The same truck and driver carry the load the whole way; nothing is handed to another carrier at the line. See our cross-border page for the crossings and how clearance works.
