What the Dutch lane measures

Our system holds 132 recorded shipments on the Netherlands–Türkiye lane. Average transit time is 7.1 days, fastest record 2 days, longest 18 days.

The distance is markedly greater than from Italy, yet the average is only about one day longer. In part-load freight the deciding factors are consolidation and customs, not kilometres.

The planning range

The 2-day record exists, but treating it as typical would be a mistake. Plan against 6 to 9 days. We publish the extremes because your scheduling should rest on the real spread, not on an optimistic average.

Process

How a shipment moves

Five steps from collection to delivery. Every status change is logged as a record — the transit times on this page 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.

Frequently asked questions

How long does road freight from the Netherlands to Türkiye take?

The average is 7.1 days. The fastest recorded shipment took 2 days, the longest 18 days. A realistic planning range is 6 to 9 days.

Why is the northern European lane quick for the distance?

Road infrastructure and crossing points on the northern European route are consistent. The 2-day record reflects a consignment that caught a direct departure at the right moment — useful to know, but not a value to plan against.

Can you handle customs clearance as well?

Yes. Our group includes General Gümrük Müş. Ltd. for customs brokerage and Servis Sigorta Ar. Hiz. Ltd. as insurance agency.

Should I choose groupage or a full load?

If your pallets do not fill a trailer, groupage lowers your cost. High-level groupage road freight is our core business.

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.
