Past a certain volume, booking by weight stops making sense. A dedicated vehicle is usually cheaper per kilogram, and it removes the handling that causes most damage claims.
Two reasons to take a whole truck
Cost. Consignment freight is priced on chargeable weight and carries the overhead of consolidation, sorting and hub handling. Once your volume approaches a vehicle, that overhead is being paid for capacity you are already filling. A dedicated vehicle is normally the cheaper rate per kilogram at that point.
Handling. A consignment travelling by weight is loaded, unloaded, sorted and reloaded. Every one of those touches is an opportunity for damage, and in our experience most damage claims trace to handling rather than distance. A full truck load is loaded once at origin and unloaded once at destination.
Direct, not through the hub
Our consignment services route through the Raipur hub, which is what makes overnight delivery possible. Full truck load does not: the vehicle goes from your origin to your destination directly. For lanes that do not pass naturally through Raipur, that is a substantial saving in both distance and time.
What you still get
- Documentation handled the same way, including e-way bill compliance.
- Proof of delivery on completion.
- A single point of contact for the movement rather than a broker chain.
- The same booking rules on declaration, prohibited goods and liability.
Getting a quote
Full truck load is quoted rather than rate-carded, because it depends on the lane, the vehicle type your consignment needs, loading and unloading requirements, and whether a return load is available. Call the branch or get in touch with the origin, destination, approximate weight and the nature of the goods, and we will come back with a figure.
Not sure which you need?
If you are unsure whether your volume justifies a dedicated vehicle, ask. On a borderline consignment we will tell you if surface cargo works out cheaper — there is no advantage to us in selling you a truck you do not need and losing the repeat business.
Best Suited To
- Manufacturers moving output in bulk to distributors or ports
- Traders bringing full loads of stock into Chhattisgarh
- Consignments that are fragile or awkward enough that repeated handling is a real risk
- Project and site movements where everything must arrive together
- Lanes that do not pass naturally through our Raipur hub
Full Truck Load FAQ
When is full truck load cheaper than sending goods by weight?
Generally once your consignment approaches the capacity of a vehicle. At that point consignment pricing is charging you overhead for consolidation you no longer need. Give us the details and we will tell you honestly which is cheaper for your shipment.
Does a full truck load go direct?
Yes. Unlike our consignment services, which route through the Raipur hub, a dedicated vehicle travels from your origin to your destination directly.
How do I get a full truck load quote?
Contact any branch with the origin, destination, approximate weight and the nature of the goods. FTL is quoted individually rather than from a rate card because vehicle type, loading requirements and return-load availability all affect the price.
Do the same restrictions apply to a full truck load?
Yes. The prohibited and restricted goods rules, declaration requirements and e-way bill obligations in our booking rules apply regardless of how the consignment is booked.
