FTL Shipping

FTL shipping is one of the most efficient solutions for fast and controlled product transportation across Ukraine and abroad.

What Is FTL Shipping

FTL (Full Truck Load) is a transportation format where the entire capacity of a truck is dedicated to a single client. This method is used to deliver large batches of goods when the cargo occupies most of the truck bed or the entire trailer. FTL shipping does not involve consolidating products with other shipments, meaning the goods are delivered directly without reloading.

How FTL Shipping Works

Organizing an FTL shipment is a clear, linear process. Ekol Logistics experts execute the following steps:

select the appropriate vehicle type based on the cargo specifications;
plan the route;
factor in customs clearance procedures, delivery deadlines, and any specific requirements of the goods.

The company uses modern digital solutions for real-time GPS monitoring, delivery status tracking, and the control of key logistics performance indicators.

When to Choose FTL Shipping

Switching to the FTL format is recommended if your cargo meets at least one of the following criteria:

the batch takes up more than 15 pallets or weighs more than 10–12 tons;
strict deadlines for delivery to the recipient’s warehouse must be met;
the products have a high value;
the cargo is fragile or highly sensitive to temperature fluctuations;
the goods fall under a hazard class that is legally prohibited from being transported alongside other products.

Ekol Logistics represents the execution of large-scale transport projects for international brands and major manufacturers, combining FTL transportation with comprehensive warehousing and distribution logistics.

What Determines the Cost of FTL Shipping?

The cost of FTL delivery is calculated individually. First and foremost, the route, distance, vehicle type, cargo characteristics, and delivery urgency are taken into account. The price is also influenced by seasonality, fuel costs, customs clearance for international shipments, and the need for any supplemental logistics services.

At Ekol Logistics, the approach to cost calculation is based on transparency and expense optimization for the client.

FAQ

FTL shipping is a transportation method where a single customer books the entire capacity of a truck for their cargo.

FTL shipping is the ideal solution when a company needs to transport a large volume of goods or requires fast transportation without intermediate stops.

The main difference between FTL and LTL lies in how the vehicle’s capacity is used. In FTL, the entire truck is occupied by one client’s goods. In contrast, the LTL format involves consolidating shipments from multiple customers into a single vehicle.

FTL shipping is suitable for industrial equipment, construction materials, food products, household appliances, and retail goods. FTL is also highly effective for dangerous or fragile cargo.
