Full truckload (FTL) haulage applies to the transportation of goods that fill an entire truck, making it ideal for large shipments. This option typically offers faster delivery times and reduced handling, as the load doesn’t change en route.

By contrast, less than truckload (LTL) haulage refers to smaller shipments that don’t require a full truck. With LTL, multiple consignments from different customers share the same vehicle. This makes it more cost-effective than FTL, but can result in longer transit times.

Each option has its advantages, depending on your shipment size and urgency.

Yes, we offer insurance options to protect your items against loss or damage during the delivery process.

Start by using appropriate packaging materials to protect items from damage. Label each package clearly, including information on the contents, destination address, and specific handling instructions. Finally, collect all necessary shipping documents, such as invoices and customs declarations, and create an inventory list. This will help you track your items during transit.

Certain haulage operations may require special permits or documents, depending on the nature of the goods and the transport route. For example, you may need the Transport Association Certificate of Origin (TACO) and the Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) for deliveries involving heavy or hazardous materials. If in doubt, consult with our team to determine the exact requirements for your shipment. We can assist you in navigating any necessary permits, ensuring compliance and a smooth transport process.
