Part Load Haulage for 1 to 15 Pallets
Part load haulage for shipments too large for a courier but too small for a dedicated truck. Your 1-15 pallets share space on a trailer with other cargo heading the same direction. You pay for the space you use, not the whole truck.
Key facts
Part load and LTL freight across Europe. Pay for the space you use, consolidated with other freight on scheduled corridors, from a few pallets up to a part trailer.
When part load works best
1-15 pallets on established lanes
High-frequency corridors like DE-NL, DE-BE, IT-DE have regular departures. Your pallets slot into the next available run.
Budget over speed
Part-load is typically 30-50% cheaper than FTL for small volumes. The trade-off is slightly longer transit due to consolidation.
Regular small shipments
If you ship 3-8 pallets weekly on the same lane, part-load with a standing rate gives you predictable cost and reliable scheduling.
Mixed cargo capabilities
Palletised goods, crated items, boxes on pallets. Standard handling. Your cargo is secured and separated from other freight on the trailer.
Why a part load price moves when the lane does not
Part load pricing follows the trailer, not your pallets. You are buying a share of a vehicle that has to fill the rest of its deck in the same direction, so the same three pallets can price very differently depending on how easily the carrier fills the remaining space that week.
Loading metres and pallet footprint usually matter more than weight on full loads. Non stackable freight consumes the full height above it and is priced accordingly.
Dense scheduled lanes such as Benelux to the Ruhr price better than thin ones. ADR full loads are constrained further by segregation rules, since not every product may share a deck.
