181 loads originating in Álava at 2.6 linear metres on average — the lightest profile in all of Spain.
Average transit is a historical door-to-door mean, waiting time included. It is not a committed delivery lead time. How we measure transit times, zone by zone
Álava concentrates automotive and components in Vitoria-Gasteiz and its industrial belt. High value per kilo, low volume: the 2.6 linear-metre average is the country's minimum, below even Madrid.
Romania takes 80 of the 181 loads, nearly five times the second destination. It is a component-supply corridor: manufacturer serving manufacturer, not consumer goods.
That profile changes what matters. With small, recurring shipments, the deciding factor is not price per truck but slot frequency and departures leaving on time — a two-metre shipment that misses one waits exactly as long as a thirteen-metre one.
Is it worth it for very small, frequent shipments?
That is literally the province's profile: 2.6 linear metres on average, the lowest in Spain. What leaves Álava is component groupage, and for that what matters is regularity, not size.
Can you meet automotive delivery windows?
On the regular corridors, yes, and Romania is the densest from here. A very tight window usually needs a direct shipment rather than a consolidated one: tell us the real window and we will tell you which service meets it, rather than promising it and watching it fail.
