Full Truckload (FTL) Transport

Full truckload transport, or FTL (Full Truck Load), is a transport model in which an entire vehicle is dedicated exclusively to a single customer's cargo. Under this method, the cargo is never shared with any other shipment from loading point to unloading point, and the vehicle's full internal capacity is available for use. At Sami Logistics, we transport your high-volume or heavy cargo to Europe and neighboring regions using dedicated full-truckload vehicles. The key advantage of FTL service is that your cargo is never combined with other shipments. This eliminates transshipment risk and shortens delivery time. This method is particularly favored for sensitive goods, high-value products or bulky industrial cargo, as it simplifies the entire transport process. Once your vehicle departs from the loading point, it is routed directly to the delivery address. Because there is no transshipment, storage or consolidation stage, the risk of damage is reduced to a minimum. In addition, having clearly defined loading and unloading dates makes operational planning considerably easier.

Who Is This For?

Full truckload transport is ideal for manufacturing companies with high-volume shipments, automotive sub-industry suppliers, large-scale retail chains and industrial raw material suppliers. Businesses that want to avoid mixing their cargo with other goods, prioritize fast delivery, and make full use of vehicle capacity gain the most value from this service.

Our Operating Process

01

Capacity Assessment

The cargo quantity, weight and volume are assessed, vehicle capacity suitability is checked, and the most appropriate trailer type is determined.

02

Pricing and Planning

A price quotation is prepared based on the route, distance and cargo characteristics. Loading and delivery dates are planned together with the customer.

03

Vehicle Assignment

An appropriate vehicle is assigned for the shipment, with cleanliness and technical checks carried out before loading.

04

Loading Operation

The cargo is collected from the loading point at the scheduled date and time, with cargo securing and safety checks performed during loading.

05

Direct Transport

The vehicle moves from the loading point to the delivery point without any transshipment, with position tracking used to monitor transit time.

06

Delivery

The cargo is unloaded at its destination and recorded with delivery documentation. The customer is kept informed.

Advantages

Dedicated Vehicle Use

The entire vehicle is allocated to your cargo alone, with no mixing with other shipments.

Faster Delivery

Direct arrival at the destination with no wait for transshipment or consolidation.

Lower Damage Risk

Because the cargo is not unloaded until it reaches its destination, the risk of handling-related damage is reduced.

Flexible Scheduling

Loading and unloading dates can be arranged to fit the customer's operational calendar.

Full Capacity Use

The vehicle's entire capacity can be used, lowering the cost per unit.

Clear Cost Calculation

A single price for a single vehicle, with no additional transshipment or storage costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

In full truckload transport, the entire vehicle is dedicated to a single customer's cargo. In less-than-truckload transport, shipments from different customers are combined and carried in the same vehicle. Full truckload service suits high-volume cargo, while less-than-truckload service is more appropriate for lower-volume shipments.

There is no minimum cargo limit for full truckload transport, although making use of the majority of the vehicle's capacity is recommended to achieve the best cost advantage. For lower-volume cargo, less-than-truckload transport may be more economical.

Transit time is calculated based on the distance between the loading and delivery points, border-crossing procedures, and mandatory driver rest requirements. Unlike less-than-truckload transport, there is no wait for transshipment, so transit times are generally shorter.

A variety of vehicle types are available, including tautliner trailers, box trailers, mega trailers, refrigerated vehicles and lowbed trailers. The most appropriate vehicle type is selected according to the nature, size and any special requirements of the cargo.
