Short answer
Two ways to price it. Book a full truck (FTL) and you pay for the vehicle — packed or half full, same price — which suits big or time-sensitive loads. Share a truck (LTL) and you pay for the space your cargo takes, by CBM or by pallet — which suits smaller loads. What moves the final number: volume, weight, where we pick up and drop off, and clearance at the checkpoint. We don't publish a fixed rate because no two shipments price the same.

| Factor | FTL (整车) | LTL (拼车) |
|---|---|---|
| Priced by | Per truck — the whole vehicle | By CBM or per pallet |
| Suits | Large or time-sensitive, exclusive-use cargo | Smaller cargo that won't fill a truck |
| You pay for | The whole truck, full or not | Only the space your cargo takes |
Full truck (FTL): priced per vehicle
Charter the whole truck and the price is per vehicle, fixed whether you fill it or not. Worth it when your cargo nearly fills a truck, when you want it kept separate, or when it has to leave on your schedule instead of waiting to share space with other cargo.
Shared truck (LTL): priced for your space
Your cargo rides with other people's on the same truck and you pay for what it takes up, by CBM or by pallet. It's the sensible option when renting a whole truck would waste most of it. On the way back into Malaysia we can re-consolidate shared loads at the hub and push them out for onward delivery nationwide.
What moves the price, and how we quote
Volume and weight, both pickup and delivery points, checkpoint and clearance, and how urgent it is. Send the dimensions, weight and the two addresses and we'll tell you whether FTL or LTL is cheaper for that load — and quote it. A fixed price list would just overcharge the small jobs and undercharge the messy ones.
FAQ
Is FTL or LTL cheaper?
Depends on how much you're moving. Near a full truck? FTL. A few pallets? LTL, since you only pay for your space. We compare both on your load.
Is LTL measured by weight or volume?
By the space it takes — CBM or per pallet. Dense cargo also factors in weight. Give us dimensions and weight for a real number.
Does the price include customs clearance?
Crossing the border means declaration and clearance at the checkpoint, which we coordinate. What's inside the price is spelled out in your quote.
Why is there no fixed price list?
Because volume, weight, route, the two ends and clearance all move the number, and they're different every time. We quote per shipment so small loads aren't overcharged.
