Part load (LTL / groupage) Volume below a full load — share trailer space Per-pallet or per-skid; consolidation in the hub Weekly groupage runs
Palletised Multi-drop into French commercial network EUR / UK pallet, hub-and-spoke distribution Daily into French network
Express Time-critical UK↔France runs Dedicated or priority groupage Same-week or sooner depending on routing
