Too much for a pallet rate, not enough for a whole truck. Take the metres you need on a scheduled vehicle and pay for those.
Our own trucks run the Durban to Johannesburg lane on a schedule whether they are full or not. Selling the space that would otherwise travel empty is cheaper for you and better for us.
It suits an awkward consignment: long, heavy, or simply more than a pallet rate was built for, and it is often the right answer for a backload.
Deck space is sold by the metres your cargo occupies, with weight as the second limit.
How much of the deck it takes, or the dimensions so we can work it out.
The total. A dense consignment can reach the truck's limit before it fills the deck.
The two towns, the day it can load, and whether the delivery day is fixed.
Tail-lift, forklift, crane or labour, at either end. It changes the price and the vehicle.
Grown into a full vehicle, or oversized? Then it is a dedicated truck or an abnormal load, and we will say so rather than squeeze it.
You pay for the metres your cargo takes on a scheduled truck, with weight as the second limit. It suits cargo that is long, heavy or more than a pallet rate was built for. We will tell you if a full truck would work out cheaper.
Give us the metres or the pallet spaces, or the dimensions so we can work them out. A dense load can reach the truck’s weight limit before it fills the deck, so total weight matters as much as length.
Dangerous goods follow the segregation rules, so they are not loaded beside just anything.
Then it is a dedicated truck or an abnormal load, and we will say so. Abnormal loads move with permits.
Mostly pallets? See Pallet Freight. Out-of-gauge pieces? See Abnormal & Project Loads.
Insuring the goods is the sender’s responsibility, and our liability is limited as set out in our standard trading terms and conditions, available on request. Insurance is available on request, unless other arrangements have been agreed in line with our terms and conditions.
Send the dimensions, the weight and the lane. We will tell you what the space costs, and whether a full truck would work out cheaper.
Tell us what is moving, where from and where to. You will get a real number from a real person.
