Was ist FTL (Full Truck Load) und für wen ist er?

 

FTL is an abbreviation, which stands for "Full Truck Load”. We are therefore exclusively talking about the transport with trucks. When using a Full Truck Load service, the truck is only used for the load of one single customer and it hence, does not have to be reloaded. The cargo is either very large or a high number of the cargo is loaded. Full Truck Load shipping is to be equated with the Full Container Load (FCL) transport, since also here a complete load is shipped. However, this takes place in the container instead of in the truck.
Full Truck Load primarily appeals to customers who appreciate the advantages of high loading capacity and want to ship their freight as a full load. If a certain time constraint or planning reliability also plays a role, Full Truck Load service is the right choice for you. If your goods do not completely fill the truck, then LTL transport may be another option for you.

Time Saving

FTL Transport (Full Truck Load) impresses with its speed and effectiveness. The Full Truck Load carrier is not forced to make complex stops and take detours, which makes the FTL transport the fastest option. Loading the cargo to another carrier is not necessary.

Less Damage

Due to the low handling of Full Truck Load transport, the goods are also better protected against damage and accidents that can happen due to reloading. The expenditure in time and manpower is therefore lower overall at Full Truck Load services.

Lower Costs

Another factor that reduces the Full Truck Load rates is also related to the handling. Since the goods are shipped directly from the sender to the recipient, the cargo does not have to be stored in storage rooms in order to have to send it together with other cargo.




What Are the Measurements of a Full Truck Load?

 

Truck: Measurements and Loading Capacity

In order for an FTL Transport to be profitable, the capacities of a truck should be fully utilized. The loading area depends heavily on the type of truck. Trucks are usually 2,45m wide and vary in height approximately between 2,40m and 2,70m. In length, however, there are the biggest differences which is therefore the decisive point for the Full Truck Load carriers and Full Truck Load shipping.

How Many Pallets Fit in a Truck Load?

The most commonly used type of truck by Full Truck Load carriers is the semitrailer (also called articulated truck) with the dimensions 13.6m x 2.45m x 2.70m. This means that there are ca. 90 cubic meters available to you. Therefore, with a Full Truck Load, you can ship about 34 EURO pallets or 26 industrial pallets.
 

What Is the Maximum Weight of a Truck Load?

If you choose a FTL transport, you have a lot of space for your freight. However, you have to consider that the maximum weight for your freight may not be heavier than 25 tons.
