When your shipment fills a truck, or is too sensitive to share space with other cargo, full truckload (FTL) is the option that guarantees full control over the transport. Layner Group organises FTL transport between France and Italy with a dedicated vehicle, no consolidation stops and no intermediate handling of your goods.
When full truckload makes sense
If your shipment volume fills or nearly fills a truck, if you're transporting fragile or high-value goods you'd rather not combine with other cargo, or if you need a more predictable transit time without groupage-style stops, FTL is the better fit. The France-Italy route crosses the Alps or runs along the Mediterranean coast depending on the path chosen, with crossing points worth knowing well to avoid seasonal delays (snow, heavy-vehicle traffic restrictions on certain stretches).
What's included
- Dedicated vehicle: your goods travel alone, without being combined with other shipments.
- Own fleet from 1 to 24 tonnes, matched to cargo type and route.
- Route planning that accounts for the alpine crossing and seasonal traffic restrictions.
- Shipment tracking throughout the France-Italy journey.
- Carrier liability insurance (CMR) covering the goods transported.
How the price is worked out
FTL transport is priced according to the exact distance between origin and destination (the France-Italy route runs roughly 700-1,400 km depending on the cities), the vehicle type needed, the time of year (alpine passes can have winter restrictions), and whether the transport is one-way or also requires a return leg. With this information, our team can put together a preliminary offer in 15-30 minutes.
The process, step by step
- Request: tell us the volume, type of goods, exact addresses and date.
- Preliminary offer: delivered within 15-30 minutes.
- Loading: the vehicle collects the full shipment at origin.
