A radical transformation is taking place in logistics, especially in the FTL (Full Truck Load) segment, which is evolving by leaps and bounds. The statistics are compelling: up to 63% of goods moving by road in Europe use this transport model, and the growth prospects are even more promising for the coming years. This revolution in freight transport is redefining the way companies move their goods, how they plan and execute their overall logistics strategies.
According to Transport Intelligence's "European Road Freight Transport 2023" report, 92% of companies anticipate an increase in their full truckload services. More than half of these organizations project that FTL growth will outpace LTL (Less than Truckload) growth in the next five years. These figures are not coincidental; they reflect a trend that is redefining the way companies manage their supply chains and respond to the growing demands of the global marketplace.
The evolution of the FTL market is directly related to the search for greater operational efficiency and the need to adapt to an increasingly demanding business environment. Companies are recognizing that investing in full truckload services not only optimizes their current operations, but also prepares them for the future challenges of international trade.

The COVID-19 pandemic was a catalyst that demonstrated the critical importance of FTL transportation. In times of high demand and supply chain disruptions, the ability to secure dedicated cargo space became a critical competitive advantage. This lesson has stuck in the corporate memory, driving a permanent transformation in logistics strategies.
The rise of e-commerce has generated an unprecedented demand for logistics solutions capable of handling large volumes of goods with ever-tightening delivery times. FTL transportation has positioned itself as the ideal answer to this challenge, offering a direct and agile solution that enables companies to keep pace with digital commerce.
The ability to move large volumes of goods efficiently has made FTL a key element in e-commerce operations, especially in distribution to logistics centers and regional hubs. This mode of transportation allows for keeping inventories up to date and responding quickly to peaks in demand.
On long-haul routes, the elimination of intermediate stops and additional cargo handling represents significant savings. FTL transport enables companies to maintain more precise control over their logistics operations, from planning to execution, reducing operational risks and improving delivery predictability.
