FTL & LTL

Flexibility from pickup to destination

01

Time-critical shipments

Depending on route and handling, a road solution can enable short total transit times. We check pickup date, border crossings and delivery as one chain.

02

FTL · Full truckload

For larger volumes we plan a suitable full load with capacity matched to the order.

03

LTL · Part loads

Smaller volumes can travel on part-load solutions. Consolidation and possible transshipments are factored into transit and handling.

Quick answers

Product questions

When does direct trucking make sense?

Direct trucking suits shipments where flexible pickup and delivery points or the most direct road run matter. FTL uses a full truck; LTL consolidates smaller shipments. Transit and availability are quoted for the specific route.

How long does trucking from China to Europe take?

For China–Europe FTL we plan with an indicative 16–18 days, for the LTL connection Suzhou CFS → Essen CFS with 20–23 days. Border handling and pickup date determine the actual value.
