Overview

Indicative price: from €180 / tonne

Cargo size: up to 24 t and up to 120 m³

Loading in Europe: within 24 hours

Transit time: 7–13 days (Astana 7–10, Almaty 8–12, Tashkent 9–13)

Additional services: dangerous (ADR), perishable and oversized cargo; daily tracking and reports; customs clearance with experienced customs brokers

Key advantage: the whole trailer is for your cargo only — no other clients’ shipments are loaded on the way, so the cargo arrives faster and with less risk

When to choose a full truckload

A full truckload (FTL) means the whole trailer is dedicated to your goods. Nothing is loaded or unloaded along the way, so the route is shorter and the cargo is handled less.

When FTL is cheaper than a part load

When a shipment approaches 24 tonnes or 120 m³, a full truck usually costs less than the same number of pallets booked separately. Indicative pricing starts from €180 per tonne. If you are unsure which side of the line you are on, send dimensions and weight and we will compare both options.

Direct or with transhipment

Depending on the cargo and the destination, we run direct trucks or transship at warehouses. Direct is faster; transhipment is sometimes cheaper and lets us combine several of your shipments into one trip.

Lead times

Loading anywhere in Europe within 24 hours of the cargo being ready. Transit to Kazakhstan or Uzbekistan takes 7–13 days (Astana 7–10, Almaty 8–12, Tashkent 9–13; Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan take longer), depending on the destination and border queues.

Difficult cargo

We carry dangerous goods (ADR), perishables and out-of-gauge cargo. Customs formalities are handled with experienced customs brokers, so the export declaration and T1 transit are not your problem.

The route depends on the commodity code

The northern route runs through Lithuania with transit via Belarus and Russia; the southern route goes through Türkiye. If EU transit prohibitions apply to your goods, the northern route is closed. You can check the code in our free HS code check.

Frequently asked questions about full truckloads

How much fits into a full truckload?
Up to 24 tonnes and up to 120 m³. For larger or heavier cargo we offer rail freight, where the limits are considerably higher.
How long does a full truckload take?
Roughly 7–13 days from loading: Almaty 8–12, Tashkent 9–13. We arrange loading in Europe within 24 hours of the cargo being ready.
Do you carry out-of-gauge cargo?
Yes. For oversized and heavy-lift cargo we select suitable equipment and, where required, arrange permits along the route.
Why is FTL better than a part load?
The whole trailer is dedicated to your cargo — no other clients' shipments are loaded en route. Delivery is therefore faster, with fewer handling operations and lower risk of damage.
