What logistics services does Van Express specialise in?

Van Express specialises in:

Middle-mile – efficient hub injections, FTL moves, and palletized shipments between distribution centres.  

Pallet logistics – local or cross-border pallet delivery for a wide range of industries, with a strong focus on e-commerce and retail.  

White-glove delivery – fragile, expensive or high-value goods delivery with special care and precision.  

Cross-border relocation services – full-service of residential, office, and warehouse moves.  

FTL shipments – transport solution for large shipments that require the entire truck space and can’t fit into a van.  

What is the difference between dedicated van delivery and full-truck load (FTL) transport? 

Dedicated van delivery is direct cross-border transport solution using vans (typically 8-15 cubic metres capacity) designed for smaller to medium-sized shipments that need fast, flexible delivery across Europe.  

Dedicated van delivery offers shorter transit times, quicker pickup (within 3 hours), and is ideal for urgent or time-sensitive shipments that don't require a full truck. The service is perfect for businesses needing express end-to-end delivery without the volume to fill an entire truck.

Full-truckload (FTL) transport is a logistics service where an entire truck is reserved exclusively for one customer's shipment. FTL is designed for large, bulky, or high-volume shipments that can fill or nearly fill a truck's capacity (typically 13.6 metres or larger).  

With FTL, goods travel directly from pickup to delivery with no shared loads, no intermediate stops, and no handling at distribution centres, making it the most secure option for large shipments.
