How are half pallets priced in European LTL pallet freight networks?

European less-than-truckload pallet networks price consignments by euro pallet positions consumed in the trailer. One EUR 6 half pallet occupies half a standard euro pallet position — two half pallets together fill one full euro pallet position. Carriers charge two half pallets consolidated into one position at the equivalent of one euro pallet rate. A single EUR 6 half pallet travelling alone to a destination is typically charged at the full euro pallet rate because the unused half-position cannot be allocated to another shipper on the same movement. Shippers booking half pallet consignments should confirm the per-half-pallet pricing unit with their logistics partner before booking.
