Tailored Freight Solutions with Half Load and Full Load Options

At Links Courier, we understand that every shipment is unique. Our unique half-load and full-load options provide flexibility, speed and cost savings for businesses across the country. Be it an FTL across the continent or a smaller load to the closest depot, our customisable solutions move your cargo faster, safer and more reliably where it needs to go.

Custom Haulage – perfectly matched to your load size

Whether dealing with one freight challenge or a hundred across an enterprise, our half-load and full-load solutions can be customised to any shipping challenges you have. If your delivery isn’t large enough to require a whole vehicle, our half-load haulage carrier service provides an economy-shared transport option. For bulkier consignments, our full-load haulage carrier offers dedicated space and secure transit. Road haulage in the UK plays a vital role in connecting businesses across regions with reliable and timely freight transport.

What are Half Load and Full Load Transport

In logistics for road freight transport, a half load (also known as a part load or PTL) describes a load where shipments just fill part of a truck’s loading capacity. Your consignment travels with others, so you’re only paying a part of the transport cost. A full load takes advantage of the whole capability of a full-load truck service, perfect for big or time-sensitive deliveries.

Half-Load & Full-Load Key Differences:

Feature	Full Load (FTL)	Part Load (LTL)
Space	Entire Vehicle	Shared Space
Cost	Fixed Price for Vehicle	Price based on space used
Delivery Time	Faster, Direct Route	Longer, Multiple Stops Possible
Risk of Damage	Very low direct dedicated Delivery no stops	Higher, More Handling
Suitability	Large, Time – Sensitive high value Shipments	Smaller Shipments, Cost-Conscious Shippers

Cost-Effective Haulage for Every Business

By opting for transport carriers half-load trucks in the United Kingdom, businesses can benefit from lower speedy freight prices while still enjoying professional logistics services. This model is ideal for companies with medium-sized shipments that fall between LTL and FTL needs.
