What is co-transport and co-load?
Welcome to this comprehensive guide where we cover everything you need to know about co-transport and co-loading when moving. The terms co-transportation and co-loading refer to a form of transportation where several smaller batches of goods are combined in a larger truck or transport vehicle to make transportation more efficient. In a moving context, this means that the household goods of several people or families are transported together in the same truck. By coordinating transportation, you can save time and money.
Benefits of co-transport and co-loading
Cost-effectiveness: save money by sharing transport space with others
One of the most obvious benefits of co-transport and co-loading is that it is a cost-effective solution. By sharing the truck with others who are also moving, you can benefit from a cheaper price per cubic meter or per hour. So it’s cheaper than renting a whole truck for yourself.
Environmental friendliness: Optimal transport
In addition to the economic aspect, co-transportation and co-loading is also an environmentally friendly solution. By filling the truck optimally and reducing the number of empty kilometers that the truck has to drive, fuel consumption and thus CO2 emissions are reduced. This is an important point for those who care about the environment and want to make a positive impact.
When and How to Use Co-transport and Co-loading
Combined transport and consolidated loads are best suited for those who are not in a hurry to move and have fewer items to move. For example, if you are a student moving from one city to another for studies, or a small family moving but not having much furniture, this could be an ideal solution.
The process of arranging co-transportation and co-loading with movers
To arrange a groupage or consolidated shipment with a moving company, start by contacting them for a quote. Many removal companies have a form on their website where you can fill in your details and get a preliminary price estimate. This is usually followed by a dialog in which you discuss details such as what dates are possible for transport, how much space your luggage will take up, and any special needs such as… insurance or extra handling of sensitive items.
