Questions about road transport

Which shipments are suitable for sprinter vans and what are the limits?

Sprinter vans are suitable for urgent shipments, multi-stop routes and city centres, usually up to 1–8 Euro pallets or separate packages. For larger or longer shipments, we work with fixed partners.

Do you transport ADR shipments, dangerous goods by road?

Yes, after prior review. Required: UN number, class, packaging group and quantity.

How is the price determined and how quickly do I get a quote?

Rates are for business customers and depend on the customer and shipment profile. Factors include volume, weight, distance, service level, delivery windows and ADR requirements. You will usually receive a quotation on the same business day.

What is the difference between Standard and Direct Service?

Standard service is groupage and usually takes 2 to 5 business days. Direct service uses dedicated transport and usually takes 1 to 3 business days, depending on the route and distance.

Is evening or weekend delivery available?
