Full truckload (FTL) – great way if you have enough products to fully load the truck. It is also practical for loads that will not cover the total space of the truck, but you need faster or safer delivery.
Advantages of FTL:
- Best way to transport large shipments
- Ideal for high risk, delicate or fragile freight shipments
- Shipment remains in the same truck from point A to point B
- Faster than (LTL) truckload
You can also choose the truck type for your freight
- Flatbed Trucks – best for transport of overlength, oversized, overweight equipment or material. The trailer has no sides, no roof, which gives flexibility
- Refrigerated Trucks – for transporting chilled or frozen products. The load is protected no matter of the outside temperature
- Dry vans – used for all types of freight where cargo is protected from the weather
