Add your pallets or cartons to get total volume (m³), loading meters (LDM) and trailer fill.
Find the billable weight for light, bulky or dense freight (road defaults: 1 m³ = 333 kg, 1 LDM = 1,750 kg).
See how a change in diesel price changes your freight rate.
Applied: G = 54.255% × C = 0.4 (Orden FOM/1882/2012, cond. 3.4).
Diesel index: EU Weekly Oil Bulletin (net of duties and taxes), Spain. Coefficient C from Orden FOM/1882/2012 cond. 3.4 (consolidated 30-06-2026): for vehicles of 20 t or more, 0.3 below 1.18 €/L, 0.4 up to 1.73 €/L, 0.5 above. Indicative — the binding figure is the one in your signed contract.
By choosing 'Engineered Groupage,' consolidation cuts the carbon footprint per pallet by about 40% compared with less-utilised road transport—saving roughly 54 kg of CO2 per pallet on the Spain-Romania corridor.
Strategic impact saving 0.5 tons of CO2 yearly through algorithmic consolidation.

Quick answers to the questions shippers ask most.
Most road freight is priced on loading meters (LDM) or chargeable weight — whichever is greater — plus the lane, the diesel (fuel) surcharge, and any extras such as ADR or tail-lift. Use our calculators to estimate LDM and chargeable weight, then get a written quote.
A loading meter is one metre of trailer length across its full 2.4 m width. A standard curtainsider has about 13.6 LDM. A single EUR pallet (1.2 by 0.8 m) placed lengthways uses roughly 0.4 LDM.
Light, bulky freight is billed on volume, not just scale weight. For EU road freight the common rule is 1 cubic metre equals 333 kg; the chargeable weight is the higher of actual and volumetric weight.
Carriers adjust the base rate up or down as diesel prices move against a baseline. The surcharge depends on how far diesel has moved and on the fuel share of total cost — our fuel-surcharge calculator shows the maths.
Yes — non-EU lanes are run as customs-managed corridors, with the import declaration filed by licensed broker partners in the destination country. See the customs guides above.
Use the cost estimator for an instant indicative price, or submit the quote form for a written quote — typically within minutes during working hours.
Indicative LTL cost per pallet runs from roughly €35 on short, high-frequency lanes (Spain–France) to around €90 on long lanes (Spain–Sweden), depending on loading meters, weight, the lane and the diesel surcharge. Use the cost estimator for a live figure, then the quote form for a firm price.
For EU destinations you need a CMR consignment note and a commercial invoice. For non-EU lanes (UK, Switzerland) add an EORI number, the import/export customs declarations (filed by our broker partners), and origin evidence such as an EUR.1 or an invoice declaration to claim preferential tariffs.
Door-to-door by corridor: western EU (France, Italy, Germany, Benelux) is about 2–3 days, the Romania flagship corridor 3–4 days, and UK or Switzerland add customs clearance on top. Scheduled LTL adds a consolidation day. See transit times by corridor.
Yes — we run ADR road freight from Spain. Share the UN number(s) and ADR class at quote stage so we assign a compliant vehicle and driver; some classes can co-load on LTL groupage, others need a dedicated load.
No. We run ambient/dry road freight only — we don't operate reefer or temperature-controlled equipment, so chilled and frozen loads are outside our scope. For Spain-origin reefer freight you'll need a specialist reefer carrier.
