Place your orderCalculating freight cost: what makes up your price
Transparency is our promise. When you calculate your freight cost with us, our system factors in several elements that decide the final price:
Pallet spaces & loading metres
A standard euro pallet measures 120 × 80 cm. If your goods extend beyond that edge (overhang), they occupy more space in the truck, which raises the transport cost.
Weight & stackability
Heavy pallets increase fuel consumption. If your goods can be stacked, the price often drops because the load space is used more efficiently.
Loading aid (tail lift)
Neither the sender nor the consignee has a loading ramp or forklift? Then we send a truck with a tail lift. In groupage this is always included.
Postcode zones
Distance is one factor, but so is connectivity. Shipments to metropolitan areas such as Berlin, Hamburg or Munich are often cheaper than runs to very remote rural areas.
