From North Asia to South Asia, our team at Expeditors have made a strategic shift to provide you with seamless and efficient cargo movement. This ground transportation service specifically targets Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) shipments between North and Southeast Asia.
As of January 6, 2025, this ground service has expanded its departure dates throughout the week, offering a streamlined approach to moving goods between China to key destinations like Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore. The Shanghai hub now offers departures from Tuesdays to Saturdays, while the Shenzhen hub provides departures from Mondays to Saturdays.
Smaller cargo volumes can be challenging due to limitations in available transportation options. Businesses often face the choice of consolidating shipments, which can lead to delays, or booking full truckloads, which can be cost-prohibitive for smaller volumes. Our LTL direct service addresses these challenges by providing dedicated LTL routes, enabling businesses to ship smaller quantities efficiently and cost-effectively.
Key Benefits of Expeditors’ LTL Direct Services

With a centralized hub dedicated to your time zone, our security team responds proactively to any potential threats to your cargo, ensuring accurate forecasting for on-time arrivals.
- Lift On, Lift Off (LoLo): This approach utilizes the same container end-to-end, requiring only trailer changes at borders. This service significantly reduces the number of handling points, minimizing the risk of cargo damage and making border crossings more efficient.
