What is LTL scheme?

The LTL scheme operates as follows: Once LTL transportation is arranged, the transport company dispatches a vehicle to collect the freight from the customers' warehouse. Following the schedule, the carrier's vehicle arrives to load the groupage cargo destined for the same conveyance direction. When it reaches the destination, the cargo proceeds to the consolidation warehouse and is then delivered to the consignee's address.

To ensure smooth operations, the associated cargo in LTL shipments must not include incompatible products or materials. For example, perishable and non-perishable items, as well as fragile and metallic goods, cannot be shipped together in the same vehicle.
