The North-South freight route by road is one of the most important logistic services in Vietnam. With a distance of thousands of kilometers, if businesses and individuals do not know how to choose the right means, services and methods of transportation, they will face high costs and even many risks.
1. Determine the exact transportation needs
Before renting a vehicle, you need to clearly determine:
Type of goods: fragile, dry goods, food, frozen goods, machinery...
Volume and size: how many tons, bulky or compact.
Delivery time: urgent within the day or can be combined.
👉 This helps to choose the right type of truck (small, medium, large, closed-body truck, tarpaulin truck, refrigerated truck...) and form of transportation, thereby saving significant costs.
2. Compare between renting a whole trip and combining goods
Renting a whole trip:
Suitable when there are many goods, need to be delivered quickly, and have high value.
Costs are calculated by km or by trip.
Combining goods (sharing a vehicle):
Suitable for small, few goods, not urgent.
Save up to 30 - 50% of costs compared to renting a whole trip.
👉 If the goods are not too urgent and the quantity is moderate, consolidating goods is the optimal choice to save money.
3. Choose a reputable, professional transport unit
Some criteria when choosing a transport unit:
There are many types of trucks, diverse payloads.
Transparent quotes, clear contracts.
Have cargo insurance, committed to compensation in case of risks.
Have GPS tracking service.
👉 Reputable units often have reasonable fares, limiting unnecessary costs.
4. Pack goods scientifically to save space
Use cartons and pallets to stack neatly.
Use shockproof and waterproof materials for fragile goods.
Packing according to standards helps save space in the truck bed → reduce the number of trips → reduce costs.
👉 For small goods, you should combine them to avoid having to rent a large truck unnecessarily.
5. Plan your transportation properly
Time: Avoid transporting during the hours when trucks are prohibited from entering the city (usually from 6am - 9am, 4pm - 8pm) to avoid delays and additional storage fees.
Route: Choose the main national highway to save fuel and limit tolls.
Schedule: If there are many delivery points, you should arrange an optimal route to reduce the number of kilometers traveled.
6. Take advantage of the full package service when necessary
Many companies provide full package services including: trucks + loading and unloading workers + packaging + insurance.
It may sound more expensive, but in fact, it saves time and reduces the risk of damage.
Especially useful for high-value or large-quantity goods.
👉 Avoid hiring your own workers at a higher price due to unplanned expenses.
7. Refer to the price list and negotiate before signing the contract
Always ask for a detailed quote in advance: fares per km, tolls, loading and unloading fees (if any).
Compare at least 2-3 transport units to choose a service that is both reputable and economical.
Negotiate discounts when transporting regularly or in large quantities.
👉 This is an important experience that helps many businesses save millions of VND each month.
8. Use periodic transport services or long-term contracts
If the business has a need to transport goods from North to South regularly:
Signing a long-term contract will get better price incentives.
You can get additional support for warehousing, storage, and door-to-door delivery services.
👉 This is an optimal solution for long-term transport costs.
9. Monitor and control the transport process
Always check the condition of the vehicle before loading.
Track the journey via GPS or update from the driver.
Check the goods immediately upon receipt to handle any damage promptly.
👉 Proactive control will help avoid unnecessary compensation costs.
Conclusion
To transport goods from the North to the South by truck to save costs, customers need to:
Clearly identify the needs and choose the right vehicle.
Consider between renting the whole trip and combining the goods.
Choose a reputable transport unit.
Scientific packaging to save space.
Plan the route and time reasonably.
Consult the price and sign a transparent contract.
Prioritize periodic or package services when needed.
👉 With the above experience, you will both save on transportation costs and ensure the safety of goods - delivered on time.
