Groupage freight solutions for efficient and economical partial loads

For shipments that are too large to be shipped as a parcel but smaller than a full or partial truckload, we offer a dedicated solution: Our groupage trucking solutions are designed to transport your goods to their destination in a cost-effective manner, even if it's just one pallet. With daily departures across Europe, you can rest assured that our operations are running smoothly, so you can focus on your business.

At a glance: What groupage shipping is about

With groupage trucking, smaller consignments from multiple customers are bundled at central hubs and transported together before being distributed individually at the designated destination. The consolidation process enables efficient use of capacity, regardless of your location or the number of pallets. You can choose delivery dates and time windows based on Premium, Classic, and Fixed delivery options.

Supported by one of Europe’s largest road networks with local hubs and reliable links to and from Türkiye, groupage trucking quickly and cost-efficiently delivers your goods to customers across national and international routes.

Frequently asked questions

Your shipment is first collected and consolidated with partial loads from multiple customers at a central hub. Then, the shipments travel together to a destination hub, where they are separated and delivered individually to their final destinations. This consolidation approach enables the shared use of truck capacity with other shippers, reducing transport costs and improving environmental efficiency.

FTL (full‑truck load) uses an entire truck for one shipment. LTL (less‑than‑truck load) fills only part of the truck and typically follows direct routes with multiple stops. Groupage freight also combines partial loads but uses hub‑based consolidation and deconsolidation, enabling efficient handling of smaller shipments across structured networks.

Lead times mainly depend on origin, destination and routing. Groupage networks across Europe are designed for efficiency, with daily connections supporting reliable and predictable delivery schedules. This structured setup enables fast transit times for partial loads across European routes, including connections to and from Türkiye.
