    This document discusses the differences between FCL and LCL container shipments and FTL and LTL truck shipments. FCL and FTL refer to shipping methods where an entire container or truck is used only for one customer's goods, while LCL and LTL involve sharing space in a container or truck with other customers. The pros of FCL include greater security, faster customs clearance, and the ability to load directly from one's own premises, but the con is that it is more expensive for partial loads.
