LTL (less-than-truck load) is ideal for smaller consignments. Our trucks collect your goods and deliver them to several destinations. By applying smart route planning, we ensure optimal use of available space, delivering transport solutions that are both efficient and cost-effective, even when your shipment only takes up a portion of the load capacity.
LTL trucking allows transport of nearly all types of goods, independent of weight, size or unique requirements. You pay solely for the truck space used by your shipment. With LTL shipping, the consolidated shipments are sent straight to each respective recipient without temporary storage at the Rhenus hub.
Freight consolidation provides more favourable shipping rates and reduces overall costs as partial shipments are consolidated in a single truck and transported directly to the point of use.
Benefit from shorter delivery times because you are not solely responsible for utilising the entire truck capacity.
LTL offers you a high level of flexibility to meet your individual requirements, while also allowing you to respond flexibly to your customers’ needs.
Sharing a truck lowers your environmental impact along the supply chain.
Our LTL trucking experts are available with just one click. Together, we will identify the best solution for your needs.
Groupage is defined as the combination of multiple LTL shipments from various companies into a single truck, whereas LTL applies when goods from one company only partially occupy the truck capacity and are consolidated to improve shipping rates and lower costs.
LTL refers to less-than-truck load. It is suitable when you cannot fill a complete truck with your goods and want to share available space to increase efficiency and minimize waiting times. With LTL shipping, you save on costs and maintain the flexibility required for your operations.
FTL requires you to pay for the entire truck space, making it important to have enough goods prepared for shipment when booking this service, as the capacity is dedicated only to your cargo. In contrast, LTL delivers a higher level of flexibility aligned with your needs. Through LTL, time-sensitive shipments can be handled without the need to wait until your goods alone fill a complete truck.
Compared to FTL, transit time may be increased since shipments can include several stops. Furthermore, LTL loads may be subject to repeated handling throughout transit.
LTL trucking costs are largely based on the route and the quantity being shipped. Other aspects, including express shipping options, also influence pricing
