Between any two locations, a less-than-truckload shipment probably experiences more stops than a full truck-load shipment.

That's correct. A less-than-truckload (LTL) shipment typically makes more stops than a full truckload shipment. Here's why:

1. Collection: LTL carriers collect freight from various shippers. Each of these collections is a stop.

2. Consolidation: The collected freight is taken to a terminal where it is sorted and consolidated into larger shipments based on their destination. This is another stop.

3. Linehaul: The consolidated freight is then transported, often with stops at additional terminals along the way for further sorting and consolidation.

4. Delivery: Once the freight arrives at the terminal closest to its final destination, it is loaded onto a delivery truck. This truck then stops at each delivery point.

In contrast, a full truckload shipment is typically loaded at the shipper's location and then driven directly to the receiver's location, making only one stop.
