Types of Road Freight Services:
Road freight services can be categorized into various types based on the nature of the cargo and specific requirements:
- Full Truckload (FTL): FTL shipping involves using an entire truck or trailer to transport a single shipment from one location to another. It is suitable for large shipments that require dedicated space or special handling.
- Less than Truckload (LTL): LTL shipping combines multiple shipments from different shippers into a single truck or trailer. Shippers pay for the space they occupy. LTL is ideal for smaller shipments or when cost-effectiveness is a priority.
- Express or Expedited Freight: Express freight services prioritize speed and time-sensitive deliveries. These services ensure fast transit times, often with dedicated vehicles and direct routes.
- Specialized Freight: Specialized road freight services cater to specific cargo types, such as hazardous materials, perishable goods, oversized or heavy loads, fragile items, and high-value products. These services involve additional expertise, equipment, and compliance with specific regulations.
