Truck haulage
Truck haulage – Reliable shipping for business customers
Truck haulage companies are the all-rounders among road transport companies: they take on particularly large and heavy freight items, refrigerated goods, general cargo, bulky freight as well as parcels and even documents. If it has to be done quickly, they also offer direct transport.
In Austria, CEP service providers generally only collect consignments by midday. If a shipment needs to be dispatched urgently in the afternoon, you should plan your shipment with a forwarding agent.

How much does freight forwarding cost?
As always, the costs depend on what needs to be transported and where. Direct journeys or bulky goods always involve higher costs than a standard pallet or parcel. In the case of international shipping, however, the costs incurred for customs clearance are already included in the shipping price. Particularly valuable freight should always be additionally insured — our staff will advise you on this.
What information is required to book a freight forwarder?
Your enquiry must contain precise details of the contents, dimensions and weight, the collection address, the planned collection time and the delivery address. In the case of a forwarding agent shipment, the forwarding agent will bring the consignment notes when the goods are collected.
Which goods can I send by lorry freight forwarder?
Particularly large or bulky goods and heavy freight weighing more than 31.5 kg must always be transported by a forwarding agent and then secured on pallets or in a pallet cage. However, smaller parcels or urgent documents can also be shipped in this way without any problems.
