When to Use FTL vs LTL or Groupage
Use FTL when:
- Cargo fills 10+ LDM or weighs 10+ tonnes
- Time-critical, direct service needed
- Exclusive vehicle required (no co-loading)
- Hazardous goods (ADR) or temperature-controlled
Consider LTL or Groupage instead when:
- Shipment is under 10 LDM (LTL: 2–10 LDM)
- Under 2 LDM — groupage saves 50–70%
- Cost is the priority over speed
- Flexible delivery schedule

Frequently Asked Questions
Is customs clearance required for Spain–UK FTL?
Yes. Post-Brexit, FTL to the UK requires Spanish export declarations, UK import declarations, EORI numbers, and GVMS Goods Movement Reference (GMR). We manage the Spanish export side and coordinate UK import clearance with the importer's appointed customs agent.
How long does a full truckload from Spain to the UK take?
An FTL from Spain to the UK takes 3–4 days including Channel crossing (Eurotunnel or ferry) and customs processing.
Why is UK FTL more expensive than EU destinations?
UK FTL rates include Channel crossing fees, customs documentation handling, and the additional compliance requirements introduced post-Brexit.
