What is full-load transportation?

Complete load transportation means, in short, the transportation of a sender’s entire load from a specified point to another point with a single vehicle. In other words, there is only one sender’s load in the transport vehicle. This situation offers various advantages for both the sender and the transportation company.

Why Full Load Transportation?

• Efficiency: Since all vehicle capacity is dedicated to a single shipper, loading, and unloading operations become faster and more efficient.
• Safety: Since there is no mixing with other loads, the risk of damage to the load is low.
• Cost-effectiveness: When transporting large amounts of cargo, full-load transport is generally more economical than partial transport.
• Control: The shipper can track where their cargo is throughout the entire transportation process and gain greater control.

What Should Be Considered in Full Load Transportation?

• Characteristics of the Load: The size, weight, volume, and special characteristics of the load (for example, whether it is a hazardous material) are important in determining the selection of the transport vehicle and the conditions of transport.
• Route: Factors such as traffic, road conditions and distance on the route to be transported affect the duration and cost of transportation.
• Transport Vehicle: A transport vehicle with adequate capacity and equipment suitable for the characteristics of the load should be selected.
• Insurance: Insuring the cargo against damage that may occur during transportation minimizes risks.
• Customs Procedures: It is important that customs procedures are carried out correctly and on time in international transportation.

Advantages of Full Load Transportation

• Fast Delivery: Deliveries are made faster as there is no waiting as with other loads.
• High Security: The risk of damage to the load is low.
• Cost Effectiveness: It is an economical solution for large amounts of cargo.
• Flexibility: Transport conditions can be customized according to the shipper’s needs.

What Should Be Considered in Full Load Transportation?

• Planning: Thorough planning before the move helps to avoid problems.
• Choosing a Transportation Company: It is important to choose an experienced and reliable transportation company.
• Contract: Preparing a contract that specifies the terms of carriage in detail protects the rights of both parties.
