    Your benefits with FTL logistics

    With full truckloads, your requirements can be met faster as less coordination is required. The vehicle is customised to suit your wishes and exact specifications and material characteristics.

    FTL logistics eliminates intermediate stops and additional loading times, making it a faster and more efficient option for your shipping needs.

    Your goods remain on the type of vehicle required for the entire duration of the FTL transport. Direct loading and unloading means less handling and load securing after loading, minimising the risk of damage.

    Transport insurance

    Freight forwarders’ liability is legally regulated and limited for international shipments. In case of damage or loss, the compensation is often much lower than the actual value of the goods, and there are frequently additional liability exemptions. To support secure FTL logistics, we recommend additional insurance protection. Options include “all risks” insurance and customised transport insurance policies, as well as insurance for each shipment or on a long-term basis.

    Frequently asked questions

    In logistics, FTL stands for full truckload and means that the entire loading area of the truck is filled in one stop. This distinguishes FTL service from LTL (less-than-truck-load). In these forms of transport, various partial loads are combined and transported in one vehicle to various recipients. FTL transport is the best option if the shipping volume is sufficient to fill entire loading areas. FTL service is also ideal for particularly time-critical consignments.

    FTL logistics is the ideal choice for shipping large quantities of goods efficiently, safely and flexibly. Your goods are transported directly from pick-up to delivery without any stops or reloading, minimising the risk of damage and loss. This direct route means faster delivery compared to other methods like LTL. With less handling, the chance of damage, theft or loss is significantly reduced. It is particularly cost-effective and practical for large shipments as the entire truck is dedicated to your cargo. This also allows for more flexible pick-up and delivery times, tailored to your schedule.
    Additionally, since your goods aren’t mixed with other shipments, you can often use simpler packaging, saving time and money. You’ll have better control and transparency over the transport process with a single vehicle handling your shipment.
