Our busiest lane

Five terminals in Italy,
one organisation

Collection happens on the Italian domestic leg, consolidation is completed at the terminal, and the vehicle departs for Türkiye full. A consignment waiting for a trailer to fill is the single biggest drag on transit time — a five-terminal network shortens exactly that wait.

Process

How a shipment moves

Five steps from collection to delivery. Every status change is written to the system as a record — the transit times on this site are calculated from those records.

  1. 01

    Collection

    Your consignment is picked up on the Italian domestic leg or at a European departure point.

  2. 02

    Terminal consolidation

    The vehicle is filled at one of our five terminals — this is where waiting time is cut.

  3. 03

    Departure and transit

    The vehicle sets off. Every status change is written to the system as a record.

  4. 04

    Customs clearance

    Declarations and documentation are handled by our own group company.

  5. 05

    Delivery

    Delivered door to door, and the file is closed.

Transit

From Europe to Türkiye, over the mountains

Average transit across our 9,990 recorded shipments ranges from 3.9 to 12.2 days depending on the corridor. Where a consignment stands at any moment is tracked through 41,308 status records.

Recorded corridors

14 lanes, transit times measured
across 9,990 shipments

These are not marketing estimates. They are averages taken from records in our own operating system. We show the fastest record next to the average, because planning needs the real range rather than an optimistic figure.

means the fastest recorded value on that lane is not plausible as a transit time (a shipment booked out on the day it was collected). We leave it out rather than publish a figure we cannot stand behind. The average and the slowest value are unaffected.

Full load transport

When your goods fill a trailer: direct carriage with no transhipment.

Customs brokerage

Declarations and customs procedures through our group company General Gümrük Müş. Ltd.

Cargo insurance

Goods-in-transit cover arranged within the same organisation via Servis Sigorta Ar. Hiz. Ltd.

Warehousing and consolidation

Interim storage, consolidation and departure planning at our terminals.

Door-to-door delivery

From collection point to delivery address: one contact, one file.

Customs brokerage

Customs handled
under our own roof

A consignment held at customs is the single biggest cause of a long transit. Because declarations and documentation run through our group company General Gümrük Müş. Ltd., missing paperwork is caught before loading rather than at the border.

Transparency

Measured data,
not estimates

Every number on this site comes from our own operating system. We do not hide the outliers: the longest recorded transit is published next to the average. Knowing the real range is worth more to your planning than an optimistic mean.

Frequently asked questions

What is groupage freight?

In groupage — also called part-load or LTL — your consignment shares a vehicle with other shipments instead of filling it alone. If your pallet count does not fill a trailer, groupage is the more economical option. High-level groupage road freight is our core business.

How long does road freight between Europe and Türkiye take?

It depends on the lane. Across our 14 recorded corridors, average transit ranges from 3.9 to 12.2 days. Italy–Türkiye averages 6.3 days across 8,511 recorded shipments. Every corridor page shows the average alongside the fastest and the longest record.

What affects groupage transit times?

Three things: how far the collection point sits from the consolidation terminal, how full the departing vehicle is, and how long customs takes. Our five terminals in Italy shorten the first two. The most common cause of a long outlier is paperwork held at customs.

Can you handle customs clearance and insurance too?

Yes. Our group includes General Gümrük Müş. Ltd. for customs brokerage and Servis Sigorta Ar. Hiz. Ltd. as insurance agency. Transport, clearance and cargo cover run through one organisation.

How much does a shipment cost?

We quote per shipment rather than publishing a rate card, because the price depends on weight and dimensions, collection and delivery points, customs effort and the service level you need. Send us those details and you get a firm figure — not a range that changes at booking.

Where do your transit times come from?

They are not marketing estimates. Every figure on this site is calculated from 9,990 shipments recorded in our own operating system, with 41,308 status events logged against them. Data as at 4 July 2026.
