FTL transport tailored to your needs

When you need to move large volumes quickly and directly, full truck load (FTL) transport is the right solution. By reserving an entire truck exclusively for your shipment, your goods are loaded once, transported without detours and delivered straight to the consignee for unloading.

FTL transport: fast, adaptable and secure

Benefit from the unmatched flexibility that road freight offers you. Extensive road networks throughout Mexico and major cross border corridors enable deliveries to almost any destination. Thanks to the variety of truck types available, almost any type of cargo can be transported this way.

FTL services stand out for their speed and security, as your freight remains on the same vehicle from pickup to delivery without intermediate stops. This direct transport shortens transit times and helps you reach your customers faster. At the same time, transport costs are individually aligned with your needs, supported by seamless coordination of domestic routes and cross border operations between Mexico, the United States and Central America.

Your advantages with our FTL services

With a full truck load, the entire vehicle is dedicated to your shipment, reducing coordination and enabling faster, fully customized transport based on your goods and requirements.

By avoiding transshipment points and additional loading processes, FTL transport significantly reduces transit times and improves overall efficiency.

Your cargo stays on the vehicle type you require for the entire journey. Direct loading and unloading reduce handling and eliminate the need for repeated load securing, lowering the risk of damage.

Transport insurance

Liability for international freight forwarding is legally limited and often does not cover the full value of the goods in case of loss or damage. To protect against financial risk, we recommend supplementary insurance solutions such as all risk coverage, tailored transport insurance policies, shipment specific insurance or long term contracts.

Frequently asked questions

In logistics, FTL stands for full truck load and refers to transports where the entire loading space of a truck is filled at one loading point. This differs from LTL (less than truck load) or groupage transport, where multiple partial shipments are consolidated and delivered to several recipients. FTL transport is ideal when shipment volumes are large enough to utilize full loading capacities. It is also well-suited for time critical consignments, as it benefits from our extensive partner network, in house customs services and optional two driver operations.

FTL services are a highly efficient, safe and flexible solution for transporting large volumes. Goods are moved directly from pickup to delivery without reloading or intermediate stops, significantly reducing the risk of damage, theft or loss.

The direct route enables faster transit times compared to LTL or groupage solutions. As the entire truck is reserved for one shipment, pickup and delivery schedules can be flexibly adapted to your timelines. Packaging requirements are often simpler since goods are not combined with other consignments, saving time and costs.

FTL services also offer greater control and transparency, as a single vehicle handles the entire shipment. Fewer stops and optimized routing can further contribute to more efficient fuel usage and a lower environmental impact.
