Before companies choose the way to ship goods to customers, they must consider factors such as destination, availability, delivery urgency, temperature etc.
Transport, whether less than truck load or full truck load is implementing profitable strategies for example, some companies are taking advantage of backhauling, which consists of planning a return route to avoid having an empty vehicle on its way back. That will save fuel, time, and it will benefit the environment.
FTL is a type of freight containing goods from one company only. This option is perfect when you want to ship 10 to 24 pallets or high risk and urgent shipments.
Goods shipped via FTL are less probable of being damaged because there are no stops along the way and just a few contact points.
Usually, freighters combine partial loads to complete a full truck load; in other words, they offer loads consolidation services (LTL).
If shipments are headed to the same destination, consolidating freight combines the shipment of LTL and parcels to save time and money.
Backhauling or backloading in LTL services helps plan return trips and trace routes to guarantee the shipment is transported in each of the truck’s route sections.
The cost for LTL shipments depends on the distance, volume, weight, type of freight, and additional services such as internal pickup, and arrival notifications.
Sometimes, it is difficult to choose the type of transport we need; however, there are technology platforms such as Transportation Management Systems (TMS) that help us plan and schedule full and consolidated shipments depending on the demand. There even are some cloud based TMS that let us combine different freighters, which allow us to compare costs, capacities, and insurance in real time.
“Both our companies have a strategy of focus on their core business. IRF strengthened their focus on shipments to & from the UK, something we are known for in the market, and have proven our high performance for over 30 years.
In March 2018 we launched our own trucking management system, in collaboration with “Code Yellow”. Today we’ve reached our millionth activity. Each activity means another truck reached its destination.
Since our establishment, we specialise in many areas of the logistics sector. We offer an all-in-one service and promise the highest level of standards, while limiting the cost.

All high value loads are transported under strict internal policies. It is standard working practice to have panic buttons, electro locking systems on our trailers, motion sensors, acoustic alarms, predefined routing and in-house 24/7 monitoring.
Multi Temperature means that you can divide your loading space into several temperature compartments with a different temperature range in each part - For example: The first half of the trailer is set up for 2-8 degrees, we put a wall in between, so the other half can be set up for 15-25 degrees
