So I used to be a freight clerk (hated that job) and there was this one trucking company ...
Anyways, needs a little background to understand. In Canada one of our massive global companies, you may have even heard of it, Canadian National their logo is a big red linked CN. It's one of our national railroads and they have sea cans all over the world too. So they also started a trucking company.

If you want to ship 8 pallets you ship an LTL (less-than-trailer-load) or if you have say 26 pallets you can ship an entire TL. That's what that stuff means. So in their infinite wisdom, the big cheeses at CN decided to name their truckling fleet ...
