Experts in LTL shipping via road freight
LTL shipping or less than truckload freight shipping (LTL) is used to transport freight that doesn’t require the use of an entire trailer or small freight. When you ship LTL, you pay for the portion of the truck trailer your freight occupies.
Our LTL experts will ensure that the departure is made on time and your cargo is secured. At DFDS, we go the extra mile when it comes to our clients. Before we load the LTL shipments onto a truck, we package them onto pallets. This way, your pallet is secured and will arrive safely at the destination.
Benefits of using LTL freight shipping services
Improved flexibility
DFDS offers specialised services such as liftgate delivery and inside delivery. Essential for businesses that need help loading or unloading heavy or fragile goods.
Cost efficiency
LTL shipping is cost-effective for businesses that do not have enough goods to fill an entire truck. With LTL, you only pay for the space your products occupy within the truck, rather than paying for an entire truckload.
Reduced carbon footprint
With DFDS Direct, you can easily quote, book, track and handle your logistics. It will help you save time and minimise mistakes during the booking process.
Palletised shipping for secured LTL freight
At DFDS, we use palletised shipping to provide your cargo with extra security inside the truck and avoid any unwanted damage caused by movement. It is important to use pallets each time you use LTL shipping services, for better accessibility and handling.
Palletising can help you reduce the overall cost of the LTL shipment because a pallet is considered a single piece, no matter the number of packages. We use automated palletisers to align packages with the pallet square, therefore weight is distributed equally and there’s no uneven pressure.
