At Powercargo, we know that reliable and efficient logistics are crucial to keeping your business running smoothly. This month, we’re highlighting our dedicated European road freight services, designed to meet the diverse needs of our clients across the continent. Whether you’re importing or exporting or need part load shipment, we’ve got you covered!

FTL: Dedicated Full Load Trailer Services

When you need to move large quantities of goods between the UK and Europe, our Full Truckload (FTL) services are the perfect solution. With FTL, your cargo is the sole occupant of a dedicated trailer, ensuring that it travels directly from your pick-up location to its destination without any intermediate stops. This service is ideal for businesses looking to ship high volumes or oversized items, as it provides maximum security, speed and efficiency.

Key benefits of our FTL services include:

  • Direct Routing: No stops along the way means faster transit times.
  • Enhanced Security: With no other cargo sharing the trailer, the risk of damage or loss is minimised.
  • Flexibility: We accommodate a wide range of cargo types, including perishable goods, heavy machinery and more.

Pan-European Services: Shipping Across Europe

Our pan-European services offer seamless transportation solutions for shipments between 18 European countries. Whether you need to move goods from France to Germany or from Spain to Italy, we can handle it all.

Our extensive network of trusted European partners ensures your cargo reaches its destination when it’s supposed to. With our Pan-European services, you can count on:

  • Comprehensive Coverage: No matter where your cargo needs to go, we have the routes and partners to make it happen.
  • Reliable Transit Times: We work with top carriers to provide consistent and reliable delivery schedules.
  • Warehouse & Distribution: We have a wide range of warehousing solutions for businesses of various sizes, with no minimum quantity or admin fees.
  • Cargo Insurance: We work with selected partners to offer industry-specific insurance against loss, damage, theft, war and terrorism on all goods whilst in transit anywhere in the world by road, rail, sea or air.

Less Than Truck Loads (LTL): Cost-Effective Transport

Not every shipment requires a full truckload which is where our Less Than Truckload (LTL) or groupage services come in. This cost-effective option allows you to share trailer space with other shipments, reducing shipping costs while benefiting from our reliable service.

Our LTL services are perfect for businesses that:

  • Ship Smaller Quantities: Ideal for shipments that don’t require a full trailer.
  • Value Cost Efficiency: By sharing space, you only pay for the portion of the trailer you use.
  • Need Regular Shipments: Perfect for businesses with frequent, smaller shipments that need to be delivered across Europe.

Dedicated Vans: For Time-Sensitive Smaller Shipments

Another option is our Dedicated Van service, which offers speed and flexibility.

These vans are perfect for smaller shipments requiring urgent delivery, ensuring your goods reach their destination as quickly as possible.

Benefits of our dedicated van services include:

  • Rapid Delivery: With direct routing and no stops, your cargo arrives in the shortest possible time.
  • Door-to-Door Service: We pick up your goods from your location and deliver them directly to the recipient.
  • Personalised Attention: Dedicated service ensures your shipment receives the highest care and attention.

Customs: Full Customs Support on Both Export and Import

Navigating post-Brexit customs can be one of the most challenging aspects of international shipping. At Powercargo, we offer full customs support to ensure that your shipments clear customs smoothly on both the export and import sides. Our team of experts stays up to date with the latest regulations, helping you avoid delays and additional costs.

Our customs services include:
