Full Or Closed Load Or Capacity Concept
According to Cowtown Express, full load — also known as full load and closed load — is a modality in which the truck is loaded with orders from just one shipper. This may happen due to the large volume transported, customer restrictions regarding vehicle sharing, and delivery urgency.

- Better Cargo Organization
As the vehicle used in this modality is used exclusively for this transport, there is greater flexibility and options for the disposition of transported goods. With this facility, optimizing the vehicle’s space to accommodate as many products as possible is possible.
- Good Cost Savings
As a consequence of space optimization comes cost reduction as the vehicle will accommodate more goods, reducing the number of vehicles for the total load required. This is mainly because the service can be negotiated and prices agreed in advance, giving the customer an estimate of transportation costs. Furthermore, better cargo organization reduces damage and losses during transport.
- Greater Agility In Delivery
The full load generally has only one stop after leaving its origin: the final destination. In some cases, cargo may have up to three delivery locations. Transporting full loads takes a shorter time, making the service much more agile than in other modes.
- Enhanced Security
A load with fewer deliveries or diversions will have less exposure to road transport risks, such as theft and loss. Tracking cargo with only one final destination is also less complex, as unforeseen deviations can quickly be identified.
