Full Truck Load FTL – FCL

FTL (Full Truck Load) or FCL (Full Container Load) transportation, which meets the speed and security demands of the logistics sector, provides an ideal logistics solution, especially for high-volume businesses. FTL transportation means that an entire trailer is filled with cargo belonging to a single shipper, minimizing the risk of damage to the transported goods. Having a single loading and unloading point saves both time and costs while enabling faster deliveries. FTL is preferred especially for shipments with large volumes and high time sensitivity. By optimizing logistics costs and increasing operational efficiency, FTL transportation plays a crucial role in enhancing businesses’ competitiveness.

Full truckload transportation has several advantages compared to partial transportation:

• In full truckload transportation, the cargo reaches its destination without being opened or interfered with from the loading point to the delivery point, reducing the risk of damage.
• Loads are handled only at the beginning and end of transportation. The risk of damage due to handling is lower compared to partial transportation.
• Transported goods move directly to the unloading point without having to enter different routes. Since the vehicle does not need to make multiple deliveries at different locations, the operation is faster.
• Fully loaded vehicles provide a cost advantage in transportation. In terms of unit cost, full truckload transportation is a more economical shipping method compared to partial transportation.
• Since the vehicles are fully loaded in full truckload transportation, there is no need to wait for additional loads, and the vehicle departs immediately, reaching its destination in a shorter time.
• Collecting the cargo at a single point prevents missing or incorrect shipments.
• Generally, a single type of cargo is transported in vehicles, which speeds up and simplifies the stacking processes.
• Loads such as pallets and barrels, which are not preferred in partial transportation, as well as bulk cargo, can be easily transported in full truckload transportation.
