    Transport insurance

    Standard liability of freight forwarders often does not cover the full value of your goods. With additional insurance options, including “All risks” coverage, you can protect your shipments during less-than-truck-load shipping and make up for eventual damage or loss.

    Frequently asked questions

    Less-than-truck load (LTL) refers to shipments that are too small to fill an entire truck. Your goods share space with other shipments, making LTL transport a cost-efficient solution for smaller volumes. It also increases efficiency and flexibility, as you can ship without waiting to build up enough volume to fill a full truck.

    LTL refers to shipments from one company that do not fill an entire truck. Groupage describes the consolidation of multiple LTL shipments from different companies into one load to optimize capacity and reduce costs.

    With FTL, you pay for the entire truck, as the capacity is reserved exclusively for your goods. Less-than-truck load offers greater flexibility, allowing you to ship smaller volumes without waiting to fill a full truck. This makes it especially suitable for time-sensitive shipments and helps improve overall efficiency.

    Transit times may be longer compared to FTL, as shipments can involve multiple stops along the route. In addition, goods may be handled more frequently during transport.

    Pricing for LTL transport is mainly based on the route and the shipment volume. Additional services, such as express delivery, can also affect the final cost.
