Road freight transportation
ELP Cargo carries out international road freight transportation of goods in Europe as well as the rest of the world. The organization of this kind of delivery is a complex, time-consuming task, which requires experience, qualified personnel and an extensive, serviceable vehicle fleet. If the safety of the cargo during transportation is important to you, if you want to cooperate with professionals, please contact us! Thanks to a well-thought-out line of tariffs, the price is affordable both for business representatives of different levels, and for individuals.
International road freight transportation
It is a fast and cost-effective way to send goods, raw materials, personal effects and other items abroad. It is no coincidence that it is characterized by an optimal ratio of cost and speed, because in terms of time, transport is faster than sea and rail, and in terms of costs it is more profitable than air. Another plus is the low dependence on weather conditions, which play an important role in air and sea cargo transportation. The risk of unforeseen situations during the road transportation is minimal.
Lorry trailers are much larger in capacity than sea containers, so small consignments and oversized structures can be moved by car. It is possible to order a complete set of a batch and delivery by a combined method from us.
Consolidated international road freight transportation
Depending on the volume of the consignment, the transportation of goods can occur in different ways. If shipments of one customer are delivered, then we are talking about complete transportation - FTL. If the products of several customers are loaded at the same time, then the delivery of the combined batch - LTL - is issued.
An important advantage of complete transportation lies in the efficiency. In this situation, the entire lorry with it's trailer is at the disposal of one customer, which means that there are no intermediate unloading points and stops. The route is planned in such a way that the goods, products or property reach the recipient in the shortest possible time.
Consolidated LTL transportation assumes that only part of the van is engaged in a separate shipment. The rest of the space is loaded with the cargo of other clients. This option makes it possible to effectively use the space of the car. The rental price of transport is distributed among all participants in the transportation. Weight has no minimum limit. The maximum weight must not exceed the carrying capacity of the trailer.
Travel time for consolidated cargo transportation increases, however, a competent selection of the route allows you to apply the best solutions for all participants in the transportation. The price is determined by the dimensions of the cargo and the distance of the route.
By entrusting international road transport to ELP Cargo, you can be sure that the quality of your products will not deteriorate due to the characteristics of other customers' products. Things and goods accepted for transportation are sorted by quantity, conditions of detention, type of fasteners. This allows you to avoid worries about the safety of goods.
You can choose the delivery option yourself or after consulting with our specialist. Complete international road FTL transportation is recommended in the following cases:
- products of one sender occupy the entire space of the body or most of it;
- the batch is small, but the time of transportation plays a major role.
If the speed of delivery is not a priority or the batch is small, then LTL will be more profitable.
International transportation of groupage cargo has the following advantages:
- there are no restrictions on the minimum amount of shipment;
- regular transportation without significant logistics costs;
- favorable cost of transportation of large sized cargo;
- affordable price for legal entities and entrepreneurs, as well as for individuals;
- predictable dates due to the clarity of the route.
Giving preference to ELP Cargo, customers can also count on a long-term price list - for a constant stream of shipments, the price does not change. Our experts select the best car models based on the needs of customers, cargo features, lot sizes, budget constraints. In addition to delivery, we are ready to take on obligations for customs clearance, storage, packaging, and labeling. By ordering complex services, you save time and money.

Can you arrange customs clearance documents?

I want to send cargo without documents
Just as it is impossible to fly on an airplane without presenting a passport / visa, it is impossible to ship the cargo without documents. In the international transportation of any cargo, personal belongings or commercial cargo, its movement falls under the customs control of the countries of the sender and recipient.
Is it possible to send personal items abroad without a detailed list?
Unfortunately, it is impossible - personal belongings, like any goods transported across state borders, fall under customs control, and therefore a complete list of the transported goods must be drawn up for its submission to the customs authorities and for the correct execution of customs procedures.
How to mark the cargo?
The main inscriptions on the packages must contain:
Full or abbreviated name of the consignee and consignor;
Sender and recipient address;
The number of packages in the shipment and the serial number of the package within the shipment;
Manipulative signs are also indicated, for example: Fragile, Up, etc.

How to pack the goods correctly?
Proper packaging protects the contents of the shipment from everyday hazards and ensures that the goods being transported do not damage other goods during transit.
Packaging must be sufficient to protect your item during transit.
Using the most common measures, you can avoid time and labor costs, as well as financial losses.
Use shock-resistant materials that will not allow the load to move freely during transportation.
Each fragile or vulnerable item must be wrapped separately.
Packages must be securely sealed with adhesive tape intended for gluing transported goods.
Boxes must be on the pad and secured.
Cabinet furniture (chest of drawers, wardrobes, beds) must be disassembled in detail and properly packed in a separate package filled with packaging material.
Larger shipments (equipment, etc.) must be secured with a supporting frame structure, which must be filled with protective packaging material (styrofoam, etc.).
