FTL – Full Truck Load
A vehicle dedicated to your goods, with no transshipment: reliable timing for full loads and high-value shipments.
Road Freight
Road Freight: road transport national and international.
Full loads, part loads and groupage, coordinated from pickup to delivery. VECTUM was born on the road: a Control Tower follows every trip and a single contact plans and monitors the service through to the POD.
The service
Full load or groupage, under the same control
Road Freight covers national and international road transport: links between plants, suppliers and hubs, scheduled supplies, deliveries to sales networks. The first choice concerns the load. With FTL the vehicle is reserved for your goods and travels with no breaks in load: it is the solution for full loads, high-value goods and firm timing. With LTL you share space with other shipments and pay only for what you occupy: it suits pallets and part loads.
FTL, part loads and groupage are organised through qualified partners and our direct capacity, and a Control Tower follows every trip, manages exceptions and closes with the digital POD. On international routes, documents and customs are coordinated by the same contact.
Road Freight links to the other services without changing supplier: when delivery must happen the same day, Dedicated Road Express steps in; when the flow becomes daily and continuous, Contract Distribution; when the road is the first or last leg of an air or sea shipment, the same coordination carries the goods to and from ports and airports.

FAQ
What is the difference between FTL and LTL?
With FTL (Full Truck Load) the vehicle is reserved for your goods and travels with no breaks in load; with LTL (part loads) you share space with other shipments and pay only for what you occupy. We propose the solution based on volumes, timing and budget.
Do you handle international road freight?
Yes: road freight to and from the main European destinations, with documents and customs coordinated by the same contact when the route requires it.
Do you use direct vehicles or third-party carriers?
We use our direct capacity, about 200 directly managed vehicles, and qualified partners depending on route, volumes and availability, always under the coordination of our Control Tower.
How can I follow my shipment?
Tracking and updates come from the Control Tower; once delivered you receive the digital POD.
How do I request a road freight quote?
Fill in the “Request a quote” form with origin, destination, type of goods, volumes and dates: we reply with the solution (FTL, groupage or dedicated) and a clear price.
