Full Truckload (FTL)

If your cargo fills a whole vehicle, or you would rather not share space with other freight, full truckload (FTL) is the most direct option. Dealti Logistics runs FTL shipments between Turkey and Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, and on China-origin lanes, with our own vehicle planning. The vehicle goes from loading point to delivery point in one move, with no intermediate warehousing, transloading or waiting for other cargo.

When does full truckload make sense?

FTL is usually both faster and more economical when:

  • Your cargo volume is above 60 cbm, or 15 pallets and more
  • Your deadline is tight and there is no room to wait for consolidation
  • Your cargo is sensitive, fragile or requires security (one shipment, one responsibility)
  • You have regular, repeating shipments and want a fixed vehicle plan

If your cargo does not fill a vehicle, groupage (LTL) may be a better fit. We compare the two below.

Our regular FTL lanes

Turkey and Kazakhstan operations are run by our own offices; vehicle planning, border monitoring and customs coordination are handled jointly by the two offices. Transit time varies with the route and border traffic; we share an estimate for your specific shipment with the quote.

How is the price set?

An FTL price depends on three things: the route (loading and unloading points, chosen transit corridor), the vehicle type (92 cbm, 120 cbm, lowbed, refrigerated) and the nature of the cargo (weight, dimensions, whether dangerous goods or special handling apply). Once you share this, we usually come back within one business day with a firm price and an estimated transit time.

Working with Dealti

You deal with a single operations contact throughout the shipment. We handle transport documents, CMR, transit (T1 / TIR) and customs coordination; if something goes wrong, you are informed without delay. Our Turkey and Kazakhstan offices track the same shipment from both ends.
