Enjoy the agility and flexibility of LTL transport to optimise your supply chain

LTL refers to “Less-than-Truck Load”, a mode of freight transport that offers flexible options when the amount of cargo needing to be moved does not fill a full truck load (FTL) but is too large or heavy for parcel shipping. LTL is commonly used where the customer has small shipments to and from multiple origins and/or destinations that need to be shipped to meet lead time requirement. It supports just-in-time inventory management and are ideal for when the cost-benefit of transporting the goods in smaller amounts outweigh the associated cost of storing, managing or waiting for a full truck load.

From the first to last mile LTL powers our global end-to-end solutions

We are committed to providing an end-to-end, one-stop-shop level of service for our customers. TVS SCS has a dedicated freight forwarding network with local offices and expertise in key logistics hubs and markets in the Asia-Pacific, Europe, Oceania and India, providing you with unrivalled local experience and knowledge.
