What is International Road Freight?
International road freight is the transport of goods across borders using road networks, providing a flexible and cost-effective solution for regional and cross-border shipments across the UK and Europe.
It is commonly used for palletised goods, groupage shipments, part loads (LTL), and full truckloads (FTL), with direct door-to-door delivery and fewer handling points than air or sea freight.
Road freight is typically chosen for short to mid-range distances where reliable transit times, route flexibility, and direct delivery are required.
