What is full load freight (FTL & FCL)?

Full load freight (FTL & FCL) is a transport solution where your shipment occupies the entire truck or container, ensuring direct, efficient and secure delivery. With full truckload (FTL) and full container load (FCL), your goods are transported without consolidation, reducing handling, transit time and risk.

  • No consolidation with other shipments
  • Direct transport from sender to receiver
  • Reduced handling and lower risk
  • Better control over timing and routing


FTL is used for road freight, while FCL is used in sea freight and international transport.

 

When should you choose full load transport?

Full load transport (FTL & FCL) is the preferred choice when you need dedicated capacity, faster transit times and full control over your shipment.

Full loads are ideal when:

  • Your shipment fills most or all of a truck or container
  • You need fast, predictable delivery across domestic or international routes
  • Your goods are high-value, sensitive or time-critical
  • You require dedicated capacity and full control
  • You operate across long distances or multimodal logistics setups
 

FTL/FCL vs LTL/LCL

Not sure what to choose?

  • FTL/FCL (Full load): Dedicated truck or container, direct delivery, faster transit times, and full control
  • LTL/LCL (Part loads/Groupage): Shipments are consolidated with other shipments, providing a more flexible and cost-efficient solution for smaller volumes

LTL (groupage) is used in road freight, while LCL (Less than Container Load) applies to sea freight.

If your shipment doesn't require full capacity, part loads or groupage may be a more cost-efficient alternative.

FAQ - Full loads (FTL & FCL)

 

What is the difference between FTL and FCL?

FTL (Full Truckload) is used in road freight, where on shipment occupies an entire truck. FCL (Full Container Load) is used in sea freight, where your goods fill a full container. Both provide dedicated capacity, direct delivery and minimal handling.

 

When should I choose full load over groupage?

Choose full load (FTL/FCL) when your shipment requires dedicated capacity, faster transit times and higher control. It is typically the best option for large volumes, time-critical deliveries or high-value goods.

Can full loads be shipped internationally?

Yes, full load shipments are commonly used for international freight. FTL is used across borders in road transport, while FCL is ideal for global sea freight and multimodal solutions.
