A menu of trucking services in the Kingdom, with the cargo and situations each one suits best.
Trucking services in Saudi Arabia have matured into a broad, specialised market. A shipper can book anything from a 1-tonne pickup for a same-day city delivery to a multi-axle modular trailer for a 150-tonne reactor, and everything in between. Understanding what each service is designed for helps you buy the right one and avoid paying for capacity or equipment you do not need.
Full truck load (FTL)
One shipper, one truck, direct from origin to destination. Best for 10 or more pallets, urgent consignments, fragile or high-value goods and fixed delivery windows.
Less-than-truckload (LTL)
Pay for the pallet positions you use; the carrier consolidates through hubs. Best for 1 to 8 pallets with flexible dates.
Dedicated fleet
Trucks and drivers assigned exclusively to your operation on contract. Best for daily distribution, retail replenishment and any predictable, recurring route.
Refrigerated trucking
Reefer vans, trucks and trailers for frozen, chilled and controlled-ambient cargo, with temperature monitoring. Essential for food, pharma, cosmetics and confectionery.
Flatbed and curtain-side
Open or soft-sided trailers for construction materials, steel, machinery and palletised goods that load from the side or by crane.
Container haulage
Skeletal trailers moving 20-ft and 40-ft containers between ports, dry ports and inland customers.
Heavy haulage and oversized
Lowbeds, extendables and modular trailers with permits, escorts and route surveys for heavy and out-of-gauge cargo.
City distribution and last mile
Dynas, vans and pickups running multi-drop routes to stores, restaurants, pharmacies and homes inside cities.
Cross-border trucking
Trucks with GCC transit permits and customs coordination to the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and Jordan.
Choosing between them
Match volume, urgency, cargo sensitivity and destination to the service. Many shippers combine several — dedicated fleet for core routes, FTL for peaks, LTL for small regional drops, courier for parcels — under one provider to keep visibility and billing simple.
TQM International offers all of these trucking services across Saudi Arabia and the GCC with one account, one tracking platform and one point of contact.
