FTL Transport (Full Truck Load) Services

Dedicated Freight Solutions Across Europe and Beyond

At RIX Freight, we specialise in Full Truck Load (FTL) services — a dedicated freight solution designed for businesses that require a full vehicle for their shipment. Our FTL transport services offer unmatched speed, safety, and efficiency across Europe and beyond. Whether you’re transporting high-volume goods, industrial cargo, or time-sensitive freight, our full truck load logistics ensure your freight arrives on time and in perfect condition.

Service Features

FTL (Full Truck Load) refers to transporting a shipment that occupies the entire truck. Unlike Groupage shipments, FTL cargo does not share space with other goods, providing:

Dedicated truck for your shipment only
Direct route from origin to destination
Minimal handling, reducing risk of damage
Ideal for high-volume or high-value shipments
Perfect for industrial, retail, and manufacturing sectors

Advantages of Full Truck Load (FTL) Transport:

1. Speed & Efficiency

Direct routes across Europe reduce transit times significantly.

2. Security

Exclusive vehicle use protects your cargo from contamination, loss, or mix-ups.

3. Cost-Effectiveness

Large or recurring shipments enjoy a lower cost per unit than part loads.

4. Flexibility

We offer custom scheduling, route optimisation, and multiple vehicle types.

5. Sustainability

Our optimised FTL routes and modern fleet reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions, supporting greener transport.

FTL transport is especially beneficial for manufacturing, automotive, construction materials, food and beverage, and retail distribution sectors that require fast, reliable movement of goods.

FTL vs. LTL Transport: Choosing the Right Shipping Option

Criteria	FTL (Full Truck Load)	LTL (Less-Than-Truckload)
Vehicle Use	Dedicated truck for one shipment	Shared truck with multiple smaller shipments
Transit Time	Fastest, direct delivery	Longer, with multiple stops and handling
Cost per Unit	Most cost-effective for large shipments	More economical for smaller shipments
Risk of Damage	Minimal, no cross-docking or transfers	Higher, due to multiple handling and transfers

Which Option Should You Choose?

FTL: Best for large, time-sensitive shipments that need direct delivery or follow a fixed schedule.
LTL: Suitable for smaller shipments where cost savings are a priority and flexible delivery times are acceptable.

If you are unsure whether FTL or LTL is the right option for your shipment, our logistics experts can guide you to the most efficient solution. Learn more about our Part & Full Load Transport Services page.
