The story of DACHSER perfectly illustrates how a dynamic company can develop and adapt in line with technological progress and the influence of globalization on the logistics industry. DACHSER recognized the emerging opportunities early on and seized them with both hands, transforming itself from a local freight forwarder into a leading logistics company.
Today we stand for cutting-edge, efficient, and technology-driven logistic solutions. These solutions rely on the close integration of our global transport and warehouse networks, long-term partnerships, and consistent digital networking worldwide. By taking a multi-channel approach with all distribution channels successfully linked, we are able to offer our customers a secure and reliable system for their most demanding logistics requirements.
From the beginning, the DACHSER strategy has been geared towards the sustainable growth of its networks. New regions and markets have always been developed through the establishment of branches and country organizations, or the acquisition of companies that can be seamlessly integrated into the existing network. Our highest priority is to consistently uphold the corporate strategy and values.

DACHSER Rail Services – Your secure connection between China and Europe
With the connections of DACHSER Rail Services, we transport your goods via two routes from China to Europe and vice versa: The first path runs across the 11,000-kilometer western route along the new Silk Road (southern corridor) or via the 9,288-kilometer Trans-Siberian route (northern corridor).
Regular departures, reliable shipment, individually tailored services
On both routes, we offer highly reliable service with regular departures to and from various European and Chinese cities, several full container loads (FCL) services per week, and a weekly less-than-container load (LCL) service from Hefei/Shanghai. In addition, we take care of customs clearance and, if necessary, offer specialist equipment for the individual monitoring of temperature-sensitive or high-value goods.
Great question and something our team of experts can help you determine. LTL is typically ideal for
freight shipments larger than parcel or small package, but short of the space required of a
full truckload shipments. However, other factors like distance and value may play into the decision.
FTL stands for Full Truckload. A shipment that is over 10,000lb or takes up an entire truck by
itself is considered Full Truckload. One of the main characteristic of an FTL Services is that it
will take your shipment on a long haul, making one trip from point A to Point B without transferring
the cargo.
LTL stands for Less Than Truckload. If you have 200 pounds of freight to transport, you’ve got an LTL
shipment. It takes just a section of the truck and the cargo is safely consolidated with other shipments
that may be picked up and distributed in the same area.
