Spain-origin LTL corridor · Spain → Netherlands
Reliable road freight to Rotterdam and Amsterdam, connecting Iberian exporters to the North Sea ports.
The Netherlands lane serves three distinct flows — Rotterdam port for crossdock onto container or ro-ro, Eindhoven's Brainport electronics cluster (ASML, Philips, NXP and their suppliers), and Venlo's Greenport for fresh-produce return loads. Urban environmental zones (Milieuzone) constrain which trucks enter city centres; dispatch matches equipment to consignee postcode up front.

Spanish apparel into Amsterdam / Randstad fulfilment DCs — LTL pallet replenishment.
Packaged consumer categories into retail distribution around Tilburg, Utrecht and Rotterdam.
Components and sub-assemblies into the Eindhoven / Brainport industrial cluster.

We collect palletized LTL freight from consolidation points across Spain. Every shipment is routed through our Castellar del Vallès hub for optimized groupage loading before departure.
Barcelona · Main consolidation hub
Primary consolidation hub at Castellar del Vallès — all corridors depart from here. Barcelona's ZAL port and El Prat airport cargo provide multimodal connectivity for palletized LTL groupage.
Valencia · Mediterranean port gateway
Mediterranean port gateway — Port of Valencia handles ceramic, automotive, and fresh produce exports. Pickup from Valencia's ZAL logistics zone feeds directly into our Barcelona consolidation schedule.
Seville · Agricultural export hub
Southern Spain's agricultural powerhouse — olive oil, citrus, and marble exports from Seville, Málaga, and Almería. Our partner carriers collect from the Guadalquivir valley for consolidation at Barcelona.
Madrid · Central intermodal hub
Spain's central intermodal hub — Coslada and San Fernando de Henares host Europe's largest dry port cluster. Express pickup connects to our Barcelona consolidation via the A-2 motorway corridor.
Bilbao · Industrial manufacturing corridor
Industrial manufacturing corridor — Port of Bilbao and Vitoria-Gasteiz anchor steel, machine-tool, and automotive component exports. Freight from the Basque Country joins our groupage network via the AP-2/AP-7 axis.
Zaragoza · PLAZA logistics platform
Home to PLAZA — Europe's largest logistics platform. Zaragoza sits at the crossroads of the A-2 (Barcelona–Madrid) and AP-68 (Bilbao) corridors, making it an ideal intermediate consolidation point for LTL freight.
Murcia · Fresh produce export hub
Spain's horticultural heartland — fresh produce, plastics, and furniture exports from the Murcia-Cartagena corridor. Temperature-controlled pickup available for ADR and perishable consignments joining our groupage departures.
Vigo · Automotive & seafood exports
