Shared loads: how to save on intercity transport

5 min read · Updated 23/09/2026

Hundreds of trucks drive back empty every day. Putting your cargo on such a trip is good for you and for the driver.

How it works

A carrier takes cargo from Baku to Ganja and returns empty. If your cargo is on the return leg, it adds work to a trip whose fuel and time are already paid for. That is why the price is lower than a dedicated trip.

Who it suits

  • Anyone sending a few pallets or boxes.
  • People who bought furniture or appliances in another city.
  • Technicians sending parts and equipment to a district.
  • Shops with regular small shipments.

When you still need a dedicated truck

If the date and hour are critical, the cargo is fragile or it needs a temperature regime, a dedicated trip is the right call. A shared load may stop at other points along the way.

The packing rule

Put the cargo on a pallet, wrap it in film and number the boxes. When it travels beside consignments from other customers, this noticeably lowers the risk of damage.

How much you save

The saving depends on the space used: if you take a small part of the truck, the difference is significant. Enter the weight and the route in the order form to see the exact figure.

Frequently asked questions

Usually a day or two longer than a dedicated trip, because the truck stops at other points along the route.
