Road freight to Uzbekistan: full truck or part load
When door-to-door timing and control along the route matter most
Transit time: 7–20 days
A truck is the main way to bring commercial cargo into Uzbekistan: faster than sea, cheaper than air, and the vehicle runs from the shipper’s warehouse to the consignee’s without transhipment. A standard curtain-side semi-trailer takes 20–22 tonnes and 82–92 cubic metres — that is 33 euro pallets. If the consignment is smaller, there is no point hiring the whole truck: it travels as a part load alongside other cargo and you pay for the space you actually use.
How it works
- A full truck (FTL) — when the cargo fills the vehicle, or when it matters that nobody opens it en route: one seal from loading to unloading, no added freight and no trailer swaps.
- A part load (LTL) — from a single pallet. Cheaper than a whole truck, but the timing floats: the consignment waits at a consolidation warehouse until a full load is assembled.
- Curtain-side — the ordinary trailer for most cargo: side and top loading, 13.6 metres, 33 euro pallets.
- Reefer and insulated bodies — for food, medicines and anything that will not survive heat or frost, with a temperature log for the trip.
- Oversized and heavy cargo — low-bed platforms, route permits and escort where it is required.
- Transit of 7–20 days depending on the country of departure: closer from Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, longer from Europe and China.
- Road charges and transit permits along the route are paid by the carrier — they are inside the rate, and no separate bill reaches you at the border. The per-country charges are listed further down this page.
What we need from you
- The city of departure and the city of destination.
- Weight and volume of the consignment — or dimensions and the number of items, and we will work it out.
- What the goods are: permits, temperature regime and the duty rate all follow from this.
- Readiness: the date from which the cargo can be collected.

Frequently asked questions
How much cargo fits in a truck?
A standard curtain-side semi-trailer takes 20–22 tonnes, 82–92 cubic metres, 33 euro pallets. The binding limit is usually volume rather than weight: light bulky goods fill the vehicle long before the mass limit.
What is the difference between a full truck and a part load?
On a full truck the cargo travels alone and without consolidation stops — the transit time is predictable and there is a single seal. On a part load you pay only for the space taken, but you wait until a full load is assembled. From roughly 12–15 cubic metres a whole truck is usually the better deal.
Can I order the truck without customs clearance?
Yes, we quote carriage separately. But we do not handle clearance apart from carriage: if we move the cargo, we arrange the clearance as well — through a licensed broker.
Who pays the road charges at the border?
The carrier, and they are already inside the rate. No separate bill reaches you at the border. The 2026 per-country charges are listed on this page.
Do you run trucks inside Uzbekistan?
No. We are an international carrier: the vehicle comes from another country. We do not run domestic transport.
How long does transit take?
Typically 7–20 days depending on the origin, border queues and cargo type. The exact transit time is fixed in the contract.
Do you take groupage cargo?
Yes, we accept from a single pallet — no need to wait for a full truck load.
Who handles customs?
We arrange it: we pick the HS code, calculate the duties in advance and run the release through a broker. You do not need to find a declarant — we answer for the timing and the amount.
Can the cargo be insured?
Yes, we insure both full loads and groupage at the client’s request.
