How to send a large LTL load

No matter what the load is - full, partial or just a pallet, there can always be problems finding transport. Organizing and realizing a delivery is an equation with mono known and unknown, and large LTL shipments are really a little more specific. Why? For a number of reasons, such as for Denmark today there are two trucks with four free pallet spaces, but your load is 10 pallets, can not use the capacity of an entire truck, and you want the load to go immediately and without being separated … etc.
Follow these tips if you want to send a large LTL load (partially loaded truck) without much stress.
Large LTL shipments are more specific because they are not exactly LTL and are not FTL (full) cargo. They are somewhere in the middle and often manufacturers or traders have trouble sending them. Everyone always sets a budget for delivery, there is no way - the costs must be planned and controlled in order for the business to move forward, but sometimes there are negative financial surprises related to delivery.
If you want to get a good offer for your large LTL shipment, follow these few good tips:
1) Explore the different market options for transporting your large LTL cargo.
You may say to yourself, "Well, there are 10 pallets, who won't take them…", but it's not really that easy to ship larger LTL loads. One or two pallets will easily and quickly find a place in a truck, but 10 a little harder. The price can quickly get out of control and some carriers that offer a very competitive price for 9 pallets may offer you an astronomical one for 10.
That's why you need to research the market and contact at least a few shipping companies, not just carriers. A good freight forwarder knows how to fill the cargo space of a vehicle well and has more options to do so so that you are not charged extra for the remaining free space from your pallets, which of course has to be paid to the carrier.
2) Work with supply specialists and do not neglect their advice.
Regardless of the amount and size of cargo you need to ship, this is a good rule to follow. The professionals in forwarding and logistics will always advise you and help you how best to organize and realize the transport of your cargo. For example, the Grand Logistiks team does this on a daily basis, and we know exactly which carrier is more suitable for a given amount of cargo, and whether it would not be better to leave the cargo in an intermediate warehouse for a while than to travel another 1000 kilometers. to increase the price of transport of your large LTL cargo.
Search Google, it's the easiest. There you will find many different companies dealing with forwarding and logistics. Investigate their services. Contact them by phone - talk to the consultants in the freight forwarding, you can always find a really satisfactory solution for transport, without compromising on price, time or otherwise.
3) Listen to the forwarder and do not refuse a different offer.
You have decided that your cargo will travel by land to Kazakhstan - ok, but if the forwarder can offer you a combined transport such as truck and train at a good price - do not ignore this. You know that road transport is not very financially profitable for longer distances, right ?! 
That is why we recommend that you explore different options for transporting goods. Very often the railway carriers are more competitive and even deliver your cargo quickly compared to the road options, and a good freight forwarder can certainly help you in everything with the organization and realization of the transportation of your cargo. Intermodal transport is not to be neglected, with a good organization, it is a great opportunity.
