Linehaul

Linehaul shuttles are a structured and reliable shuttle service between two fixed locations.

From the point of departure, our trucks drive directly to the destination. Thanks to driver changes, the goods are never at a standstill, ensuring that transit times are kept as short as possible.

How do linehaul shuttles work?

  • As soon as a product is ready, it is loaded directly into the waiting trailer. Intermediate storage is not required, ensuring seamless integration within the supply chain.
  • Once a box trailer is fully loaded, it departs immediately and is directly replaced by an empty one, allowing loading operations to continue without interruption.
  • Our driver operates continuously within the limits of driving time regulations. When a rest period is required, a driver change takes place to prevent any loss of time.
  • The shuttles operate on fixed schedules. From our control tower, we monitor our linehaul shuttles 24/7, providing a high-quality, structural transport solution.
  • Dedicated drivers.
    Our drivers are fully qualified and certified. We work with dedicated drivers on fixed routes and destinations.
“Every day, more than 265 of our own trucks are on the road.”
