LTL transport: part-load shipments to Europe and North Africa

At Germanetti, we understand that not all shipments are large enough to fill an entire truck. With LTL transport, you share the cargo space with other shippers and pay only for the space your goods actually occupy. This is ideal for companies that want to ship smaller loads. At Germanetti, we provide less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping throughout Europe and North Africa, drawing on decades of experience in the transportation industry and in-depth knowledge of international logistics. This allows us to guarantee reliable and cost-efficient handling of your shipment.

What is LTL Transport?

LTL transportation means we combine loads from different customers into one truck. This makes more efficient use of truck space and results in lower shipping costs for you. Our advanced facilities and technologies ensure that your goods arrive at their destination safely and on time. Door het gebruik van ons uitgebreide netwerk van distributiecentra en hubs kunnen we snel en betrouwbaar transport garanderen, zowel nationaal als internationaal.

LTL shipping vs. groupage?

LTL shipping and groupage shipping may seem similar, but there is an important difference. With LTL, part of a truck’s cargo space is used for a single shipment. With groupage, multiple smaller shipments are combined and consolidated based on destination, route, or the terms of the shipment. This allows shipping costs to be shared. Groupage is particularly beneficial if you regularly have shipments that do not fill an entire truck.

How are the rates for LTL shipping calculated?

The cost of LTL shipping is determined by a number of factors:

  1. Laadmeters, de ruimte die uw lading inneemt, berekend over de volledige breedte van de vrachtwagen.
  2. Gewicht, het daadwerkelijke gewicht van uw zending.
  3. Stackability: Can other shipments be placed on top of your pallets? This often results in a lower rate.
  4. Destination and distance, the route, and the country of destination.
