Compare
Choose the right way to move it.
Four honest comparisons. Our side comes from our own records; any named company's side comes from what it publishes, with the date we checked. Each page says when the other choice is better.
- 01 SSLvsA shipping aggregator A carrier, or a platform that books carriers? Aggregators are software. They sell space on many couriers through one dashboard. SSL is a carrier: we book the freight at our own branches and answer for it from pickup to delivery.
- 02 SSLvsA large express network A national express network, or a road-freight specialist? Listed express companies run hub-and-spoke parcel networks that reach almost every pincode, some with their own aircraft. SSL is a road-freight carrier built around industrial corridors, part-loads, full trucks and cold chain.
- 03 Asset-heavy (own fleet)vsAsset-light (hired fleet) Who owns the trucks, and why should a shipper care? Most Indian road freight moves on trucks the carrier does not own. Owning trucks buys control; hiring them buys reach and flexibility. The useful question is how a carrier combines the two.
- 04 Part-load (PTL)vsFull truckload (FTL) Part-load or a full truck? Part-load shares a truck with other shippers’ freight; full truckload gives you the whole vehicle. The right answer depends on weight, distance and how fast it must arrive. Here is what our own data shows.
Our rules
How we compare
- SSL figures come only from our facts file and research library.
- Other companies are described by their business model; named facts come from their filings, results or website, dated and linked.
- No one's private data, no ratings of anyone's service.
- Every page says when the other option is the better buy.
