Haulx offers the flexibility between Less than Container Load (LCL) and Full Container Load (FCL) shipping.
LCL shipping involves compiling shipments from multiple shippers into one container to minimise costs. It is ideal for low volume shipments and is often the economical option.
On the other hand, FCL shipping entails dedicating an entire container exclusively to one shipment. While more costly, it is necessary should you need to ship large volumes of goods that exceeds the capacity of LCL shipping.
