Business Logistics Across Europe

Parcel, Pallet or Full Load: Matching Service to Shipment Size

The service follows the size of the consignment. Parcels and documents go by courier, pallets go by groupage, and anything above 2,500 kg goes as a part or full load.

A single carton up to 70 kg moves on a courier network, with timed express available for contracts, samples and spare parts. Collection from the sender's office or warehouse is part of every courier service in Belgium booked through Go Trans.

Pallets share a trailer on groupage, up to 2,500 kg per consignment, and a full truckload reserves the whole trailer for one shipper. Production runs, stock transfers and bulk wholesale orders leave on road freight from Belgium as part loads or full loads.

Size sets the service, while the sector sets how the goods are handled.

Online Retail, B2B Supply and Returns

Online retailers ship small parcels to private addresses, and B2B suppliers ship heavier consignments to business premises. Both need a return route back to the sender.

Ecommerce Logistics

Web shop parcels go to home addresses with a delivery notification to the buyer, and a Pickup point serves as the fallback after a missed delivery. Online sellers in Belgium use ecommerce logistics across Europe to reach buyers in every EU country through one booking channel.

B2B Logistics

Receiving docks at warehouses, stores and factories open at set hours, and a delivery outside those hours goes back on the vehicle. Suppliers, wholesalers and distributors book B2B logistics solutions that put parcels, pallets and freight under one Go Trans contact.

Returns and Reverse Logistics

Returned web shop orders travel the opposite way, from the buyer back to the seller or a returns warehouse. Go Trans books reverse logistics on the same carrier networks that carried the original order.

Healthcare and automotive goods add handling requirements set by regulation and by production schedules.

Healthcare and Automotive Shipments

Healthcare shipments follow the EU Good Distribution Practice rules for medicines. Automotive shipments follow the just-in-time schedules of assembly plants.

Healthcare Logistics

The EU Good Distribution Practice guidelines require medicines for human use to stay within their labelled temperature range in transport, with a documented chain of custody. Medical devices, laboratory samples and pharmaceutical consignments booked under healthcare logistics move on time-definite services with tracking from collection to delivery.

Automotive Logistics

A component that misses its slot at an assembly plant stops the line it feeds. Go Trans arranges automotive logistics across Europe for parts, components and full loads between suppliers, dealers and plants.

Not every business shipment fits a sector. Some follow an event date, a small order volume or a stock location instead.

Events, Small Businesses and Stock Held in Belgium

Event shipments run to a fixed build-up date. Small businesses ship without steady volume, and stored stock needs onward delivery from a warehouse.

Event and Exhibition Logistics

Exhibition halls accept stands, displays and samples only during the build-up window before a trade fair opens. Event and exhibition logistics books the inbound delivery inside that window and the return collection once the stand is dismantled.

Small Business Shipping

A company sending a few parcels or pallets each month does not reach the volumes that direct carrier contracts are built for. Small business shipping through Go Trans books each consignment separately with the matching carrier partner.

Warehousing and Distribution

Stock is held at partner warehouses, because Go Trans owns none. Warehousing and distribution in Belgium ties that stored stock to onward parcel, pallet and freight delivery across Europe.

Every shipment in these sections crosses EU borders under one shared set of rules.

EU Rules for Business Shipments

Business goods moving between EU member states need no customs clearance. Cross-border road freight travels under the CMR Convention with a CMR consignment note.

The CMR note names the sender, receiver, carrier and goods on every road consignment. Sales between VAT-registered companies in 2 different EU countries fall under the reverse charge procedure: the seller invoices without VAT and the buyer declares it. Go Trans freight charges include the base rate, diesel surcharge and applicable tolls, and the diesel surcharge follows the European Commission Oil Bulletin.

With those rules fixed, a quote depends on 4 shipment details.
