Full carload rates are generally lower than less-than-carload rates because it is more cost-effective for the railroad to transport larger quantities of goods at once. This means that shippers who can fill an entire railcar with their goods will pay a lower cost per unit than those who cannot fill a railcar and must instead ship in smaller quantities.
