Full truck load

Full truck load (FTL) services

In a full truck load, one truck carries only your goods, straight from your loading point to your delivery point, with no stops to pick up other cargo on the way. Raaho books full truck loads across India, with container and open body trucks at today's rate.

When a full truck load is the right choice

FTL suits loads that fill a truck, goods that should not be handled twice, and deliveries with a date.

  • Your goods fill a truck

    When your load takes most of a truck by space or by weight, a whole truck usually costs less per ton than sharing one.

  • Fewer hands on the goods

    The truck is sealed at your gate and opened at your consignee's, so nothing is unloaded and reloaded at a hub on the way.

  • Delivery on a fixed date

    The truck runs straight to one destination, so transit time depends on the route, not on other people's pickups.

  • Regular lanes

    Plants, warehouses and distributors that ship on the same lanes every week can book the same truck type every time.

Full truck load: common questions

What is a full truck load (FTL)?

A full truck load is a shipment that gets a truck to itself. The truck is loaded at your premises and driven straight to your delivery point, with no other shipper's goods on board.

When should I choose FTL over part load?

Choose FTL when your goods fill most of a truck, when they should not be handled at hubs, or when they must reach on a fixed date. For a few cartons, a part load or parcel service is the better fit; Raaho does full truck loads only.

Can I hire a truck on rent for one trip?

Yes. A full truck load booking is hiring the whole truck for your trip, one way, at the rate for that lane and truck type.

Which truck should I choose for my load?

Start from your goods: heavy, dense loads need a truck with more capacity in tons, while light, bulky cartons need more space. The table on this page lists each truck type's size and capacity, and our team helps you pick on the call.

How is the FTL rate worked out?

By lane and truck type. Raaho sets today's rate from market demand and truck availability on that route; open your lane for the rate on each truck, and the final rate is confirmed on the call.

Which documents travel with a full truck load?

Each trip carries a lorry receipt and an e-way bill where the law needs one, and closes with proof of delivery. Our team tells you what is needed for your goods when it confirms the booking.
