International road freight forwarding
Road freight offers flexible loading and direct delivery across borders. From Istanbul, SSA Logitra coordinates international full and part loads through contracted transport companies and a partner network that includes FIATA members.
Flexible cross-border transport, coordinated end to end
Road freight works well when you need flexible collection times, direct delivery to the consignee's door, or a practical option between air and sea for overland routes. It suits full loads and smaller consignments alike, from palletized goods to temperature-sensitive products.
Each shipment is arranged through contracted carriers and international logistics partners selected for the route and cargo. We match the trailer type to your goods and coordinate collection, routing and delivery. For full loads, a truck is dedicated to your cargo; for smaller shipments, LTL and groupage services combine consignments to share capacity and cost.
Cross-border road transport depends on correct documentation. We coordinate the CMR consignment note and, where required, T1/NCTS transit or TIR Carnet procedures with the carrier and the authorized parties responsible for them, on import, export and cross-trade routes.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between FTL and LTL?
With FTL (Full Truck Load), a truck is dedicated to your cargo, which usually means faster transit and less handling. With LTL (Less Than Truckload) or groupage, your goods share trailer space with other consignments, making it cost-effective for smaller shipments, though collection and delivery follow a consolidated schedule.
Can you arrange refrigerated or ADR transportation?
Yes. We coordinate refrigerated transport for temperature-sensitive goods and ADR transport for dangerous goods. Both depend on the cargo's requirements, the applicable regulations, and the availability and acceptance of suitably equipped and qualified carriers.
Which transport and transit documents do you coordinate?
We coordinate the CMR consignment note for international road transport, and, where the route requires them, T1/NCTS transit declarations and TIR Carnet procedures. These are prepared and processed with the carrier and the authorized parties responsible for them.
Do you organize cross-border road freight?
Yes. We coordinate international road shipments on import, export and cross-trade routes, including border-crossing documentation, through contracted transport companies and our international logistics partners.
Can I request shipment updates?
Yes. Shipment status updates are available on request. We stay in contact with the carrier and share progress information as your cargo moves.
