Full truckload (FTL)

A dedicated vehicle for large shipments — your goods travel directly from origin to destination with no intermediate handling.

How it works

  1. Contact our bulk shipping team with your requirements — volume, frequency and routes.
  2. Receive a customised proposal with dedicated rates.
  3. Schedule regular collections, or book on demand.
  4. Track every shipment through your business account dashboard.

Optimise before you scale. Bulk loads are billed on the higher of actual or volumetric weight. Right-sizing cartons across a high-volume operation compounds into real savings — test yours on the billable-weight calculator.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as bulk?
There's no hard threshold — if you ship regularly, dispatch many parcels a day, or move pallets and truckloads, the commercial team can build a bulk rate that beats booking each shipment individually.
What's the difference between FTL and PTL?
Full truckload (FTL) gives you a dedicated vehicle that runs straight to the destination — fastest and best for large loads. Part truckload (PTL) shares space with other shippers on scheduled routes, which costs less for loads that don't fill a truck.
Can I get consolidated tracking and invoicing?
Yes. Multi-parcel bookings roll up under a single reference with consolidated tracking, and business accounts get a dashboard view across all shipments.
How do I set up a bulk account?
Call 086 9990 559 or email our commercial team with your volumes and routes, and we'll put together a tailored proposal.
