Direct transport (FTL|FCL)

With direct overland transport, you achieve faster delivery times without reloading, reduce the risk of damaging thanks to less handling, and benefit from greater reliability thanks to direct routes. Partial and full loads from door to door are possible from as little as 2.4 loading metres.
