Everything you need to know about shipping by ground with NEXUS.
FTL (Full Truckload) means you book an entire trailer for your cargo — best for large shipments, offering the fastest transit and lowest cost per unit. LTL (Less than Truckload) means you share trailer space with other shippers — best for smaller shipments that don't fill a trailer.
Transit times depend on lane distance: regional (1–2 days), cross-country (3–7 days), and cross-border (2–5 days). We provide specific ETAs with every quote and track milestones in real time.
