FTL

FTL transport — a full truck, no transhipment

FTL means your cargo has the truck to itself: it leaves the loading point and arrives at destination without being unloaded and reloaded on the way. This is what I recommend when you have more than 12–14 tonnes, when the cargo is fragile, or when the deadline is tight.

Usual capacity
12–24 t · 33 euro pallets
Volume
86–100 m³, up to 100 m³ with a mega trailer
Truck allocation
24–48h from the firm order
CMR liability
SDR 8.33/kg of the weight short

Documents

Which documents you need

The papers below are the ones I ask for or check myself before loading. If you are missing one, tell me at the start and we will sort it out.

  1. 1

    CMR consignment note

    The basic document of international transport. I fill it in; you only sign at loading.

  2. 2

    Commercial invoice

    Travels with the goods and must match what is in the truck.

  3. 3

    Packing list

    Number of packages, weights and dimensions. It makes checking at delivery quick.

  4. 4

    Loading instruction sheet

    If the cargo needs particular positioning or securing.

FAQ

What people ask me about FTL transport

What does a full truck cost?

It depends on the route, the season and the type of truck. I give you a firm price before loading, not an estimate that moves while the truck is on the road.

Can I load at two different addresses?

Yes, both loading and unloading can happen at several addresses. Each extra stop goes into the price and I tell you about it up front.

How soon do you find a truck?

On the usual routes, 24–48h from the firm order. On rarer ones I tell you straight away if I cannot hold the date.

Tell me the route. I will send you a firm price.

It takes under a minute to fill in, or you can just call me. I check availability with carriers and come back with a firm quote, with no hidden costs at unloading.
