Don’t hire a whole truck for a few pallets
Benefits of LTL groupage road freight
Sending a small consignment in a dedicated truck is expensive — sometimes the transport costs more than the goods. We build a route where your cargo travels with other clients’ shipments and take care of customs and legal matters.
Cheaper than a dedicated truck
The transport cost is split between all shippers in proportion to their cargo.
The route built around your cargo
We choose the best route for price and distance so your cargo arrives without unnecessary transshipment.
Deadlines set in the contract
We meet the deadlines in the contract and tell you the exact delivery date as soon as the cargo is on its way.
Advice from logisticians
We advise on how to pack and load your goods, and how to deliver and receive them.
Reliable vehicles
We check the trucks’ condition and work with carriers we know — no random private drivers.
What LTL groupage is
LTL (Less than Truckload) means cargo from different places and shippers is collected at one point and travels in one truck to different consignees. Key features:
- cargo is palletised
- small and medium-sized consignments
- weight from 75 kg to 10 tonnes
- cheaper than a dedicated truck
- within Ukraine, to Europe and back
- suitable for both businesses and individuals
- longer transit than FTL, as the truck collects several shipments
- need it faster or have a lot of cargo? FTL — full truckload
How LTL delivery works
Six steps from quote to payment. You know where your cargo is and when it will arrive, and you get the customs documents in advance.
We calculate the cost
We need the loading and delivery addresses, shipper and consignee contacts, weight, dimensions and preferred delivery method.
We check the cargo is ready
Our operator confirms with the shipper that the cargo is ready to go.
The cargo sets off
We let you know the cargo is on its way and give you the exact delivery date.
Customs details in advance
The day before dispatch we send the details for customs payments, then the customs declaration and the details of the truck delivering your cargo.
Unloading at your warehouse
The truck delivers the cargo to your address on the agreed day.
Payment after delivery
We invoice on the day of unloading, with payment due within three business days.
Who LTL is for
Groupage pays off for anyone who needs to send a small consignment without paying for a whole truck.
If you have a lot of cargo or need a dedicated truck, see FTL (full truckload)
Small business
Regular small deliveries so sales never stop.
Online stores
Restocking from Europe without large advance purchases.
Manufacturers
Components, spare parts and materials needed in small quantities but on time.
Individuals
Send cargo to family or friends in Europe or Asia — without the risk of unknown carriers.
