When is the road the practical choice?
Road freight suits connected routes and loads that benefit from direct loading from your door to the consignee’s.
Household moves
Furniture and cartons loaded at the home after dismantling and packing.
Company goods
Pallets, cartons and equipment in trucks sized to the load.
Vehicles
Shared, hydraulic or enclosed carriers, by car.
Direct delivery
No port or airport handling, so fewer loadings and unloadings.
Truck types in road freight
The truck type is part of protecting the load. We review volume, loading method and site access before settling it.
Enclosed Dyna
One to two rooms, or many cartons.
Enclosed lorry
A whole apartment of three to four rooms.
Enclosed trailer
A large house or villa, or a full commercial load.
Refrigerated truck
Food and medicines at a controlled, recorded temperature.
Flatbed or low-bed
Equipment, machinery and building materials, lashed and covered.
Car carrier
Open shared, hydraulic, or enclosed for luxury cars.
🚛A shared load or a dedicated truck?
A shared load is priced per carton, per kg or per piece and leaves when it is full. A dedicated truck is priced by size and leaves on the day you set, from your door to the consignee’s.
- ✓Shared: for cartons and a little furniture, and the cheapest
- ✓Dedicated: for a whole home or a load with a deadline
- ✓Shared takes one to two days longer
- ✓Dedicated is sealed at loading and opened only at the border and at delivery
