If you need to transport smaller quantities by road, LTL (Less than Truckload) shipping is the customized transport solution for you. With the help of efficient route planning, the loading area is used optimally.
Fast transportation for small quantities: The consolidated shipments are transported directly to their respective recipients in LTL shipments without intermediate storage at the Rhenus hub. This not only allows you to remain flexible in terms of transport volumes. Almost all types of goods can be transported as part loads by truck – regardless of weight, dimensions or special requirements. Tens of thousands of kilometers of road networks in Germany and Europe alone, combined with efficient route planning, offer almost limitless possibilities in logistics.
You only pay for the cargo space you actually use, sharing not only the truck but also the transport costs.
Suitable options can be configured for every frequency and shipment volume.
Thanks to the high flexibility of LTL shipments, you can react quickly and specifically to increasing demand.
Since you are not solely responsible for capacity utilization, partial loads can be shipped efficiently and quickly.
LTL shipping is particularly environmentally friendly and resource-efficient for partial quantities, since the loading capacity can be fully utilized here.
We work with you to develop customized transportation solutions for your partial loads. Our experts are happy to advise you!
A less-than-truckload shipment is when a single load doesn't fill the full capacity of the truck bed.
LTL shipping consolidates multiple less-than-truckload shipments, making it the best choice when you have smaller quantities to ship.
The price for LTL shipping is based largely on the distance traveled and the shipment quantity. Other factors, such as express delivery, also influence the price.
What are the advantages of LTL shipping compared to full truckload (FTL) shipping?
If the freight does not fill an entire truck bed, LTL transport is the most cost-effective, efficient and environmentally friendly choice. You save costs because you only pay for the space you use. Since the truck is still completely filled, the transport of partial loads is particularly environmentally friendly and conserves resources. Since the goods do not have to be stored temporarily, but rather the loading of the various shipments is taken into account one after the other when planning the route, the truck arrives at its destination particularly quickly.
