Frequently asked questions about expedited LCL service

Q: Are carbon emissions higher with traditional LCL or expedited LCL?

Expedited LCL service has a higher carbon footprint than traditional LCL. But both have fewer emissions than air freight in the same lane. The reason expedited LCL service tends to have higher CO2 output than traditional LCL freight is that parts of the journey replace ocean/rail service with trucks.

Q: What is the size limit for expedited LCL deliveries?

Size limits are dependant on the cargo being moved as well as the particular trade lane. Typically, the restrictions follow the maximum weight/dimensions of a 40' delivery container, but it can be lower.

Q: What format can I expect for my expedited LCL rates?

Expedited LCL rates can be provided based on weight/measurement or per KG for easier comparison with traditional LCL or air freight, respectively.
