For some parts of Italy, we might be able to offer a same day delivery subject to availability and where distance and rules allow us to do so.

Why Pallets?

Palletising is a common practice in the shipping industry for it to be more recognisable by the carriers and more protective for the consignment during its journey from origin to destination. It also makes it much easier for loading and unloading and handling of the freight when those are packed on a pallet and its storage would be much more practical.

The services of Road transport are carried out throughout the Nation & around the World with vehicles ranging from small delivery vans to large road trains. The loading ability is either an exchange body that can be moved to another method of transport, typically sea or air, or fixed on the vehicle. Road transportation benefits are its mobility and capacity to move far out to clients and the safety of goods because a driver always involved is there.

The capacity of a shipment can range between a bundle up to a full truckload. The boundaries are the loading ability, based on road load carrying ability and a maximized range of vehicles, and driver’s dependence.
