Quelle: https://cerasis.com/partial-truckload-shipping/

Partial Truckload (PTL) refers to shipments that exceed the volume or weight limits of Less-than-Truckload (LTL) but do not require the full capacity of a truckload (FTL). PTL shipments typically occupy a significant portion of the trailer (up to around 90–95%) and are often transported via direct or regional routes with minimal handling.
