What is the difference between conventional LCL and expedited LCL?
Conventional LCL transports
In conventional LCL transports, the focus is on keeping costs as low as possible by consolidating and deconsolidating shipments several times during transport at container freight stations (CFS). This helps to achieve the highest possible utilisation of transport units (e.g. sea containers, trucks, etc.) for each part of the route.
Expedited LCL transports
With expedited LCL transports, the focus is on the fastest possible overall transit time. This is achieved by avoiding consolidation enroute and accelerating other parts of the overall route.
