Roadfreight

Roadfreight

In terms of roadfreight, you may go with a full trailer load of cargo or a part load known as groupage.

You should check if the dims of the cargo do fit the trailer so you don't have problems when the driver arrives!

Groupage often transships, which means that it is taken off the vehicle at a depot and loaded onto other vehicles. This means that the infrastructure can allow freight to be delivered far more economically. It would be quite rare for all the cargo collected locally in the country of origin to be delivered to similar places. They would often be different countries so that's why transshipment happens.

Trailer types are important and dependent on what type of cargo you have. You may need an open top trailer such as a flat bed or euroliner if the cargo has to load through the roof. There are lots of different variables!
