Frequently Asked Questions
Part load (LTL — Less Than Truck Load) means your goods share a truck with other shippers' cargo going in the same direction. The transporter groups multiple small shipments into one truck to reduce cost for everyone. You pay only for the weight or cubic feet your goods occupy.
Most Vision partner transporters accept shipments from 50 kg. Some routes have a minimum of 100 kg. For very small consignments under 50 kg, courier delivery is usually more economical.
Yes, typically by 1 to 2 days. This is because the transporter may wait at the origin depot for a day to fill the truck, and may stop at intermediate hubs to drop and pick up other cargo. If speed matters, FTL is the better choice.
Yes. For goods worth over 50,000 moving across state borders, an e-way bill is mandatory. The transporter generates it using your goods details. Provide the correct goods description and declared value when booking.
