Quoted from Atari_Daze:

Multiple options discussed in here, although mostly singles, I'm sure the same would apply for full LTL

There's no such thing as "full LTL"....LTL actually stands for "less that truckload"....
....but most people haven't spent 25 years in logistics so that's ok.

Do you need a liftgate on each end or are they being loaded someplace that's dock high?
You may not need them palletized if you're using the whole trailer, again, depends how they're being loaded (forklift?). There are all kinds of carriers that do this, but don't expect any assistance loading or unloading. You may have better luck with a smaller mom and pop outfit than the big boys, they probably won't want to bother with it.

R&L has liftgate tractor trailers -
There are search engines you can use, plug in your p/u and delivery locations and carriers bid on the trips (not talking uShip). One such is Sylectus.

Second day on Pinside and you're moving a tractor trailer of games?

Quoted from Atari_Daze:

Yes, you are correct. I'm so used to dealings with literal LTL, I just use that term for all freight. It is very seldom that in my business we need any entire load.
To add further self flogging, my B.S. is actually in distribution (logistics) if any one should know better, it is I.

Ah, a fellow logistics servant! I've done just about every mode there is, one thing I like about this field. No 2 days are exactly alike. My degree is in electronics but I got it later in life, too many years invested in logistics to shift gears professionally, but it comes in handy with this hobby.
