Part load, full load and groupage
A part load takes a share of the deck and shares the cost with other consignments. A full load is a dedicated trailer, faster and with fewer handling points. Groupage consolidates many small consignments through a hub — cheapest, but with the longest transit time.
- Part load: flexible dates, good price, one or two extra stops
- Full load: direct trip, fixed timing, one shipper
- Groupage: small volumes, lowest price, longest transit
