Frequently Asked Questions About Partial Cargo

Partial cargo (LTL) is when loads that do not fill an entire vehicle are combined with other shipments on the same route. Shippers only pay for the space they use. This method provides cost savings of 40% to 60% compared to hiring a full truck.

Pricing is determined by shipment volume (cubic meters), weight (kilograms), and route distance. Volumetric weight is compared with actual weight and the larger one is used as the basis. You can get an instant estimate using the Kolay Parsiyel quote calculator.
