What is FTL Transport?

FTL transport is short for Full Truck Load Transport. This means that a truck is fully loaded with goods coming from one company or exporter. In general, these are relatively cheap shipments because they are easier to plan than a half-full truck.

Difference between FTL and LTL Transport

Whereas FTL transport stands for Full Truck Load Transport, LTL means Less than Truck Load Transport. Thus, FTL means a full truck and LTL means a truck not fully loaded. In most cases, an LTL transport will be supplemented with a load from another company, so that the truck will still travel with a full trailer. The driver then makes one or more extra stops along the way.

Fast delivery times

Your FTL transports are delivered superfast by EASY Road Transport! We apply a 2-day transit time between loading and unloading (Monday loading = Wednesday unloading). The average transit time is therefore 3 days for most destinations within our direct service area. For LTL transports, this can sometimes be an extra day. Because we go back and forth with our trailers every day, we can load and unload any day of the week.
