Land freight pricing is always quote-based and depends on shipment details.
What affects cost
- Distance and route

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Land Freight?
Land freight is the transportation of goods by road using trucks. It is commonly used for domestic distribution and cross-border delivery where door-to-door service, flexibility, and route control are important.
How Is LTL Pricing Calculated?
LTL pricing is based on several factors, including the distance traveled, cargo weight and volume, the route used, and any applicable minimum charges. Additional services or special handling requirements may also affect the final cost.
How Long Does Land Freight Take?
Land freight transit times are usually measured in days rather than weeks. The exact duration depends on the distance, routing, road conditions, and any operational or border-related factors along the route.
Can You Handle Regulated or Temperature-Controlled Cargo?
Yes. Regulated and temperature-controlled cargo can be handled when the appropriate equipment, documentation, and handling procedures are in place to meet regulatory and cargo-specific requirements.
Can Oversized Cargo Be Shipped by Ocean Freight?
Yes. Oversized or non-standard cargo can be shipped using specialized solutions such as flat racks, open-top containers, breakbulk, or RoRo vessels, depending on the cargo dimensions and handling requirements.
Is Land Freight Cheaper Than Air or Ocean Freight?
Land freight is generally more cost-effective than air freight and faster than ocean freight for domestic or regional movements. The most economical option depends on distance, urgency, and shipment size.
How Do I Choose the Right Trucking Option?
Choose FTL (Full Truckload) for larger shipments or when tighter delivery timelines are required.
Choose LTL (Less-than-Truckload) for smaller shipments where cost efficiency and shared capacity are priorities.
