Frequently Asked Questions
What is a partial load from Spain to Romania?
PTL means 2 to 10 LDM with dedicated, untouchable trailer space. Your freight makes the full journey without restacking. Ideal for larger consignments that don\'t fill a full truck.
How long does PTL take from Spain to Romania?
Standard 4–5 business days. Express in 3–4 days. Faster than standard groupage due to fewer hub stops along the route.
Why are Spain–Romania PTL rates so competitive?
High return-load volume from Romanian trucks servicing Western Europe creates abundant backhaul capacity, keeping PTL rates exceptionally competitive — often lower than shorter corridors.
Can you deliver to Romanian automotive plants?
Yes — regular deliveries to Dacia/Renault (Mioveni/Pitești), Ford (Craiova), and suppliers throughout Brașov, Timișoara, and Sibiu corridors.
Is customs needed for Spain to Romania PTL?
No — both EU member states. No customs declarations, duties, or border procedures. Standard CMR documentation only.
When should I choose partial load over groupage to Romania?
On the long Spain–Romania corridor (~2,800 km), PTL typically saves 2 days over groupage by avoiding hub sorting in France, Germany, and Hungary. At ~€350/LDM, PTL is strongly recommended above 3 LDM for this corridor. No customs required (EU–EU).
What LDM range is optimal for partial load to Romania?
For Romania, 3–8 LDM is optimal for PTL. The long transit distance means partial load's advantage (no hub sorting) is more pronounced here than on shorter corridors. Below 3 LDM, groupage at ~€180/LDM is more economical. Request a quote for exact pricing.
