Frequently asked questions

What is LTL groupage freight?

LTL (Less than Truckload) or groupage freight means your cargo shares a trailer with other shippers. You pay only for the loading meters (LDM) your goods occupy in the trailer. This makes it cost-effective for shipments of 1-20 pallets that do not fill an entire truck.

What is the cheapest way to send freight from Spain to Europe?

LTL groupage is typically the cheapest road freight option for shipments up to 10-13 LDM. From Spain, economy groupage rates start from approximately 80 EUR/LDM to nearby countries (Portugal, France) and 90-140 EUR/LDM to Central and Eastern Europe. For full trucks, FTL becomes more cost-effective above 8-10 LDM.

How is LTL freight calculated?

LTL freight is priced per loading meter (LDM). The formula is: (cargo length in meters x cargo width in meters x number of units) divided by 2.4. One EUR pallet (120x80 cm) = 0.4 LDM. A 10-pallet shipment = 4.0 LDM. Multiply LDM by the rate per LDM for your destination.

How long does groupage freight take from Spain?

Transit times for LTL groupage from Spain: France 2-3 days, Germany/Italy 3-4 days, Poland/UK 4-6 days, Romania/Bulgaria 5-8 days. Economy (slower consolidation) adds 1-2 days. Express groupage reduces transit by 1-2 days at a higher rate.
