There are a multitude of road transport services in this sublime city. It’s crucial to choose a carrier in Marseille that best suits your needs, while getting the best price.

We present the key points to consider when choosing your carrier in Marseille, and explain how Goëvia can support you, from booking your transport to delivery.

Goëvia, a local carrier

Choosing your carrier in Marseille can be difficult, especially if you’ve never used a road haulage company before. To give you the best possible support, choose a carrier who listens to your needs and is able to adapt to your requirements.

As a family-run transport company, Transports Goëvia fosters a close relationship with its customers. Our human scale gives us plenty of room to maneuver, so we can tailor our offer to your needs. Our commitment: each customer has a dedicated contact, for a rapid, personalized response. The company also favors kindness and humanity to develop a bond of trust.

Anchored in the south-west of France for over 20 years, we work with some 100 carriers via the Volupal palletized freight distribution network of the Evolutrans carrier group. It operates through a dozen platforms spread across the country. We operate daily direct departures with 6 of them.

With Volupal, Transports Goëvia delivers your pallets to Marseille, Provence and any other region in France.

Transporteur Marseille: which transport services?

Goëvia offers a wide range of freight transport services. Choose the one that best suits the specifics of your shipment.

Messaging

Courier service is a transport activity that delivers parcels or pallets within a short timeframe, ranging from a few hours on the same day to 48 hours. Total weight must be less than 3 tons. Another special feature is that the carrier must make at least one stop at a platform. The aim is to quickly sort goods before transporting them to major distribution areas.

Ask your carrier to courier your goods for fast, reliable delivery.

Full or partial lots

Batch transport refers to a load weighing more than 3.5 T or more than 6 pallets. A full load is when the entire shipment occupies the space of a truck and comes from a single customer. Partial lots, on the other hand, group together goods from several customers.

If you’re comparing road haulage companies in Marseille to deliver your large volumes, give preference to those who master batch transport. Find out about the volume that service providers can handle. For example, Goëvia, as a specialist in batch transport, ships up to 15 pallets.

Grouping

Very often, carriers’ customers don’t have enough goods to occupy an entire vehicle. Are you? It may be a good idea to use the services of a groupage carrier. This shipping method involves grouping goods from several customers in a single vehicle. For example, a carrier in Marseille will collect deliveries from different customers departing from this city.

With groupage, you save money by sharing costs. It also optimizes loads, reducing the carbon footprint. Keep in mind that if you’re looking for express transport, dedicated to your goods, groupage is not the best solution. This type of service does not offer the same reliable delivery times as express delivery.

Transport of lengths

If you need to deliver goods over 3 meters long, turn to a road haulier in Marseille who has mastered the art of transporting long loads. Whether tubes, bars or sheet metal, specially equipped and trained transport companies will deliver your products.

Road haulage rates in Marseille

If you’ve already received a carrier quote, you may have had trouble understanding how the company calculated its price.

The following factors come into play:

• Distance: sending a parcel from Marseille to Paris will cost more than delivering pallets from Marseille to Nice. To set their rates, transporters take into account mileage costs, which include the price of fuel, driver costs and daily management charges.

• The merchandise: the size and volume of the products sent have an impact on the price. In addition, if you’re shipping dangerous goods (ADR), the carrier will probably charge a surcharge.

• Ad Valorem insurance: although it represents an additional cost, this insurance is very useful for covering your valuable goods during transport.

• Marseille road transport and seasonality: transport costs are generally higher in summer and during the holiday season. During these consumption peaks, transporters are faced with high demand, while their teams are often understaffed.

The price of transport in Marseille can be reduced by adopting good practices. For example, use a specialized carrier, without intermediaries. You can also reduce the size of your goods by using suitable packaging. Finally, by using an online booking solution like Goëvia Online, you’ll receive a clear, transparent quote, so you can stay on top of your costs.
