The power of linehaul: always in motion

In the world of logistics, everything revolves around timing, reliability and efficiency. Every minute counts when goods need to reach their destination quickly and safely. With the Linehaul service, Alblas International Logistics ensures a continuous connection between fixed locations, without downtime.

The linehaul shuttles run day and night according to fixed schedules, ensuring that goods always arrive at their destination on time.

Always on the road, always in motion.

What is linehaul transport?

Linehaul transport forms the backbone of modern logistics. It involves structured, reliable trips between two fixed points, for example from distribution centre to hub or factory. Where traditional transport methods often involve waiting times or intermediate storage, linehaul stands for continuous movement and maximum utilisation of capacity.

At Alblas this means:

  • direct trips between fixed hubs
  • fixed departure times and short lead times
  • fully controlled routes, managed by our planning

This is how we combine speed with certainty, a line that never stops.

From departure to arrival: This is how it works

As soon as goods are ready, they are loaded directly into a trailer that is standing by.
As soon as the trailer is full, the truck departs; no intermediate storage is needed.
An empty trailer takes the place of the full one, allowing loading to continue at all times.

Our drivers operate according to the driving hours regulations, but through driver swaps the goods remain in motion. This guarantees minimal transport time and maximum efficiency.
With our own box trailers, the cargo also remains safe and well protected at all times.

Planning & control: the core of linehaul

Behind every successful linehaul route is tight planning.
Our control tower monitors every trip closely: departure, arrival, routes and any adjustments are continuously monitored.

We work with fixed schedules and fixed times, so customers know exactly when their goods will arrive.
Tracking provides insight into the status and delivery time, giving our customers full control over their supply chain.

Less downtime, more control — that is the power of linehaul.

People make the difference

Although technology and planning are indispensable, a successful linehaul ultimately depends on people. Our dedicated drivers know their route, their customers and their products.
They feel personally responsible for the correct handling of every load and for punctual delivery.

All drivers are fully certified and trained according to the highest safety standards.
In this way we combine experience and care with reliability and craftsmanship, exactly what our customers expect from Alblas.

What is a linehaul?

A linehaul is long-distance transport between hubs, sorting centres and distribution points. It forms the core of logistics networks and ensures fast and efficient flow of goods.

Do you use a Track & Trace system?

Yes. All our vehicles are equipped with GPS. Our Track & Trace system provides full visibility into the status of your shipment.

A linehaul transport can only be requested via email. Once we receive information about volume, route and desired delivery time, we will quickly provide a suitable quote.

What are the benefits of linehaul transport?

Linehaul transport offers speed, reliability, cost efficiency and strong consistency. Through fixed routes and efficient load planning, goods are delivered quickly, safely and cost-effectively.

How do you comply with driving time regulations?

Alblas strictly follows European driving and rest time laws. Drivers take sufficient rest, and all routes are planned to ensure maximum safety and reliability. Through driver swaps we stay within the legal limits while keeping the linehaul in motion, resulting in the shortest possible transit time.
