Good afternoon,
You can find the requirements for LTL shipments on this page in Seller Central. You will want to research carriers in your area, and reach out to find a carrier who will ship your goods while abiding by Amazon's LTL policies. From the Seller Central help page:
When you select a carrier, you are responsible for making sure it complies with the requirements below. The failure of a carrier to comply with these terms may cause the delivery to be refused.
The carrier must have a complete list of Amazon reference IDs (PO lists), shipment IDs, and tracking or PRO numbers included on or with the delivery manifest or bill of lading (BOL) when shipping with a container load or truckload carrier. Amazon will require this information when scheduling a dock appointment. Reference and shipment IDs are found on the Summary page of the shipping workflow. Tracking and PRO numbers are obtained from your carrier.
The carrier must communicate box and pallet counts before an appointment will be scheduled. The fulfillment center may request unit counts if they are provided to the carrier. Floor-loaded trailers should be indicated on the carrier freight bill and when requesting an appointment.
Upon arriving at the fulfillment center, the carrier must provide a delivery manifest or physical BOL that meets our requirements. Alternatively, the carrier may use an electronic BOL if a digital copy is provided to the fulfillment center prior to the scheduled shipment arrival. For more information, go to Seller requirements for LTL, FTL, and FCL deliveries.
Best of luck to you, let me know if you have any additional questions.
