Road Freight
Groupage and full-load road transport to Europe, the Russian Federation, the Turkic Republics and the Middle East.
Road freight has been Turna's core activity since 1981. Whatever the volume, commodity or destination, we follow each shipment from collection to delivery so that goods reach the consignee on time, undamaged and complete.
For full truck loads (FTL) the whole vehicle is dedicated to a single consignment. For groupage (LTL) your cargo is consolidated with other shipments on the same route, which lowers the cost. Out-of-gauge and heavy-lift cargo is handled with dedicated equipment and route planning.
Our carriage is covered by CMR insurance.

- Businesses with part loads that do not fill a full trailer

Questions About This Service
What is the difference between groupage and full-load transport?
In a full load the whole vehicle is dedicated to one consignment, so your cargo is not consolidated with others and is not transhipped. In groupage your shipment travels together with other cargo on the same route. Groupage is usually cheaper; a full load is faster and avoids transhipment.
How do I work out the volume of my cargo?
Enter the length, width, height and quantity of each package into the volume calculator. It accepts both centimetres and metres and shows the volume per row as well as the total. You can carry the result into the quote form with one click.
Is my cargo insured?
Our road transport is carried out under CMR insurance, which covers the carrier's liability within the terms of the international convention. Additional cover can be arranged on request depending on the nature and value of the cargo.
What is a bonded warehouse used for?
While goods sit in a bonded warehouse, the duty liability is deferred until they are released. This gives importers flexibility in cash flow and lets them draw the goods down in parts as they are needed.
