FAQ

Full Truckload Questions

How many pallets are in a full truckload?
A standard European full truckload holds up to 33 EUR-pallets on a 13.6m trailer, with a maximum payload of around 26 tonnes. The achievable number depends on product weight and stacking height, which we confirm on your quote.
What's the difference between FTL and FCL?
FTL (full truckload) is road freight, one truck direct to your destination, best for buyers within Europe. FCL (full container load) is a sealed sea container, the standard for overseas export. A 20ft container fits roughly 10–11 pallets and a 40ft around 20–25.
What is the minimum order for a truckload?
One full truck or container. You can load it with a single SKU for the lowest unit cost, or mix multiple products and categories within the weight and volume limits.
Which Incoterms do you offer?
We trade on EXW Rotterdam, FCA, FOB, CIF and DAP. Tell us your preferred term and destination and we'll build the quote around it.
Can a truckload be mixed SKUs?
Yes. A truckload can be a single product or a mix of SKUs and categories. Mixed loads are popular with distributors who want a broad assortment in one shipment, see pallet wholesale for smaller mixed orders.
How fast can a truckload ship?
Once stock and payment are confirmed, EU road deliveries typically transit in 1–5 days. Sea freight transit depends on the destination port; we provide an estimated transit time with every quote. Request pricing to get exact timelines.
