LCL

LCL – Less-Than-Container-Load

A shipping term referring to shipments that take up less than a full container. Shipping containers are usually 20ft or 40ft. Typically, shippers will fill containers with other people’s shipments to maximize space. Unlike Less-Than-Truckload, LCL is usually a combination of both land and sea transportation.
