Overview

About Full Truck Load (FTL)

Full Truck Load is the standard mode for heavy and bulk commercial consignments that need to travel as a single unit. The entire vehicle is committed to your cargo, so the load is secured once at origin and released once at destination — no consolidation hub, no intermediate handling and no waiting for other freight to fill the deck.

Vehicle selection is driven by the cargo itself. We match capacity to the actual weight and dimensions of the load rather than to a standard rate card, because deck length, axle loading and available lashing points decide what can safely be carried.

Cargo we carry on full loads

Machinery, machine tools and packaged plant equipment
Structural steel, plate, coil, pipe and fabricated assemblies
Industrial raw material in bags, drums and bulk packaging
Automotive components, white goods and palletised finished stock
Chemicals and agrochemicals in approved packed form
Defence and ordnance consignments under the required protocols

Fleet and equipment

We operate an owned and attached fleet of open trucks, closed-body vehicles, flat-bed trailers, multi-axles and containerised carriers, in payload capacities from roughly 9 tonnes up to full trailer loads. Where a consignment exceeds standard axle limits it moves to our project cargo desk and is planned as an ODC movement instead.

How a movement runs

You share cargo weight, dimensions, origin, destination and the loading date.
We confirm the vehicle type, an achievable delivery date and an itemised rate.
The vehicle reports to your works and loading, lashing and securing are supervised.
The consignment moves under GPS, with status reported by a named coordinator.
Delivery is completed at the consignee premises and proof of delivery is recorded.

Documentation and compliance

Each movement travels with a consignment note, e-way bill and GST-compliant invoicing, with delivery confirmation captured digitally. In-transit cargo insurance is arranged against declared value before despatch, and any state permits applicable to the vehicle or route are obtained in advance.

Who uses this service

Manufacturers moving regular full loads between plants, warehouses and distribution points; EPC and infrastructure contractors supplying sites; and exporters and importers running cargo between works and port. Contract rates with committed capacity are available where volumes on a lane are predictable.
