Service
Full truckload (FTL)
One vehicle, one consignment
What the service covers
On a full truckload the vehicle is assigned to a single consignment. There is no cross-docking, no consolidation and no terminal dwell, so the transit time is shorter and more predictable and the risk of damage is lower. It suits consignments that fill the loading space, or that need a direct lane because of the deadline or the nature of the goods.

In practice
What full truckload (ftl) looks like day to day
Who it is for
Who it is for
- Consignments that fill the loading space

Industries
Industries we handle in this area
- Automotive Just-in-time deliveries where the window is measured in minutes, not hours.
- Industrial goods Heavy and awkward loads that need the right body and a considered securing method.
- Construction Materials delivered to sites where the unloading conditions change from week to week.
- Agriculture Strongly seasonal movements where, at the peak, vehicle availability matters more than the rate.
Common questions
The questions we get asked most
-
01
When does a full load beat groupage?
Usually when the cargo fills more than half a trailer, or when the deadline matters — a full load runs without transhipment.
-
02
Does the vehicle carry only my cargo?
Yes. On a full load the space is committed to one job, with nothing picked up along the way.
-
03
Can I set the loading time?
Yes. Loading and unloading windows are agreed before the vehicle is allocated and confirmed with both ends of the lane.

Less than truckload (LTL)
