    Frequently asked questions

    Groupage can be described as a combination of multiple LTL shipments on one truck from different companies, while LTL is used when goods from one company do not completely fill the available truck space and are therefore consolidated for the sake of better shipping rates and minimized costs.

    LTL stands for less-than-truck load. Consider this option if you don’t have enough goods to fill an entire truck but want to share space for greater efficiency and less waiting time. LTL shipping saves you money while giving you the flexibility you need.

    With FTL, you need to pay for the entire truck. It is advisable to have enough goods to ship when booking this option, as the loading space is reserved exclusively for your goods. LTL allows for more flexibility tailored specifically to your needs. With LTL, time-sensitive shipments can be transported without having to wait until you can fill an entire truck yourself.

    Transit time may be longer than with FTL freight because shipments may have to make multiple stops. In addition, LTL loads may be handled several times during transit.

    The price for LTL freight depends largely on the route and the shipping quantity. Other factors, such as express shipping, also influence the price.
