When a load has to get from A to B quickly and reliably within Germany, one thing counts above all: a vehicle that runs directly – without transhipment, without groupage detours. Speed Logistics dispatches domestic direct runs between all economic regions, from Berlin via Hamburg, Cologne and Frankfurt to Munich. As a rule we deliver within 24 hours of collection, and on short and medium distances often the same day.
You receive your fixed-price quote within a few hours, and our dispatch team is personally available around the clock – including at night and at weekends, when a line stoppage looms or a trade fair opens in the morning.
Services for your Germany transports
- Direct run without transhipment – every shipment travels on one vehicle from sender to consignee
- All vehicle classes – from the Sprinter van (3.5 t) via 7.5- and 12-tonners to the 40-t articulated truck
- Express and overnight service – collection in the evening, delivery the next morning before production starts
- Premium handling – for sensitive and high-value goods such as electronics, measuring technology or trade-fair equipment
- Temperature-controlled vehicles – for pharma and food shipments with a documented cold chain
Process: from the call to the proof of delivery
You give us the collection and delivery address, dimensions, weight and deadline – by phone or email. Within a few hours, and considerably faster for urgent shipments, your fixed price is ready. After approval we dispatch the right vehicle, often with collection the same day. During the journey you receive status updates; the consignee confirms delivery on the consignment note – on request with immediate feedback to your dispatch team.
Typical uses of domestic direct runs
The classic case is the urgent shipment that prevents a production standstill: spare parts for a stalled plant, by Sprinter van overnight from Stuttgart to Leipzig. Just as often we run scheduled supplies for automotive and mechanical engineering, trade-fair logistics with fixed build-up times, office and server relocations with sensitive technology, as well as temperature-controlled pharma shipments between manufacturers, warehouses and pharmacy distribution centres. For each of these tasks, the dispatch team chooses the vehicle and route so that the deadline holds – not so that the vehicle gets full.
Regions and transit times at a glance
Between the major economic areas – Rhine-Ruhr, Rhine-Main, Stuttgart, Munich, Hamburg and Berlin/Leipzig – the transit times of a direct run are a few hours up to a maximum of one day. Berlin–Munich means around 580 kilometres and is reliably achievable with an overnight service; we reach Hamburg–Cologne during the day in about five hours' driving time. We also serve destinations away from the metropolises without a surcharge on the transit time, because the direct run knows no hub detours – from the SME in the Sauerland to the plant in Lusatia. Collections are possible nationwide, on request with fixed time windows at your ramp.
Why a direct run instead of groupage?
Groupage networks are cheap, but slow and involve multiple transhipments – every reloading costs time and increases the risk of damage. The direct run travels without a stopover, can be planned to the day and is therefore suited to anything that is deadline- or shock-sensitive. In terms of price, direct runs move within different ranges depending on the distance, vehicle size and lead time – we give you a non-binding guide value in advance and the binding fixed price within a few hours.
