When a shipment cannot wait, every transhipment point counts as a risk. With Speed Logistics' express direct transport, a vehicle booked exclusively for you runs without a hub, without a groupage stop and without reloading directly from your ramp to the consignee – in Germany, Europe and, on request, all the way to non-EU countries including customs clearance. You receive the fixed-price quote within a few hours, and you can reach the dispatch team personally 24/7 – including at night and at weekends.
Typical uses are production stoppages, missing machine parts, exhibition goods with a fixed setup date or urgent spare-part deliveries to customers. Because the vehicle carries only your load, there are no waiting times at transhipment terminals and depots – the transit time is almost equal to the pure driving time. For sensitive and high-value goods there is an added benefit: the goods are handled exactly twice, at loading and at unloading.
Point-to-point instead of network: the difference
In a groupage or hub system your goods are transhipped several times; every handling costs time and increases the risk of damage, and the routing follows the network schedule instead of your deadline. The direct run eliminates both: one vehicle, one load, one route. The only trade-off is the price, since there is no consolidation with other shipments – in return you get maximum speed, full control over the routing and a driver who is on the road exclusively for your shipment.
Two-driver crew for long distances
On long hauls we deploy a two-driver crew on request: two drivers take turns at the wheel, and the vehicle runs almost continuously in compliance with driving and rest times under the EU Mobility Package. This makes even lanes over 1,000 km feasible without an overnight stop – for example for overnight deliveries from Berlin to Milan or Lyon. The side effect: a vehicle that keeps moving does not stand at rest areas and offers cargo thieves no point of attack.
Vehicles, tracking and fixed price
- Vehicle choice to suit the shipment: from the van (3.5 t) through curtain-sided trucks to the 40 t articulated truck – you pay only for the capacity you need
- GPS live tracking: the position and ETA of your shipment traceable at any time, with proactive status reports from the dispatch team
- Fixed-price model: a binding all-in price before departure, no subsequent surcharges
- Premium handling: suitable also for sensitive and high-value goods, with load securing by trained drivers
- Multilingual dispatch: smooth coordination with consignees and loading points abroad
How your express direct transport works
You give us the pickup and destination address, dimensions, weight and desired date – by phone on +49 (0)30 346 467 850 or by e-mail. Within a few hours you receive a fixed-price quote with a realistic arrival time. After your approval, we dispatch the nearest suitable vehicle – in urgent cases loading is often possible the same day. From takeover you track the journey via GPS through to signed delivery at the consignee; on non-EU lanes we prepare the customs papers in parallel so that the border does not slow the pace. After delivery you receive the signed proof of delivery – on request digitally for your system. We also run recurring direct runs, such as the weekly plant supply or fixed spare-part lanes, on agreed terms: you report the demand, and we reliably keep vehicle and driver ready.
