Frequently asked questions about time-critical transport
What is an express shipment in road transport?
An express shipment is a particularly fast transport solution for time-critical consignments. Depending on requirements, DACHSER organises a direct run, a special or charter run, or an express solution with a fixed delivery time. The focus is on efficient results and a transport solution that matches the specific urgency.
When is an express truck shipment worthwhile?
Expedited shipments are worthwhile above all when regular transit times are not sufficient. This is the case, for example, with
- impending production stoppages
- urgently needed spare parts
- unplanned supply bottlenecks
- short-notice promotion or project deadlines
- fixed delivery deadlines with high urgency
Which shipments are suitable for express transport?
In principle, all time-critical goods are suitable for express transport. Factors such as weight, volume, and route determine the specific implementation, which is checked on a case-by-case basis.
Can I combine express shipments with other DACHSER services?
Yes. An express shipment can cover a particularly urgent leg within a larger transport chain. If required, DACHSER combines express runs with groupage, LTL, or FTL shipments as well as with air and sea freight.
Are express shipments available throughout Europe?
DACHSER checks availability for each request based on the route, market, urgency, and operational capacity. Express shipments can be organised throughout Europe, but are not automatically available in the same form in every country and on every route.
How does DACHSER plan an express shipment?
Planning is based on the specific requirements of the shipment. DACHSER takes into account in particular:
- the required pickup and delivery time
- origin and destination
- weight, volume, and type of goods
- the type of vehicle required
- available capacity
- possible connections to other transport services
