FAQ
Questions shippers ask before the first booking.
Something missing? Write to hello@rota.co and we answer within one working day.
01
What is the smallest shipment you take?
One pallet. Shared trailers on our fixed weekly lanes keep small loads affordable, and you only pay for the space you use.
02
Are the prices really fixed?
Yes. A quote is held for 48 hours and fixed once booked, with fuel, tolls and standard paperwork included.
03
How is CO₂ calculated?
Per shipment, from the real distance, weight and mode, following the GLEC framework. You get a report with every delivery.
04
Do you handle customs?
Our customs team prepares export, import and T1 transit documents while the load is being booked.
05
Can we connect our ERP?
Quotes, bookings and tracking are available through an API and EDI, plus CSV exports from the portal.
06
What happens if something is damaged?
Every load is insured to the standard limit. Report it in the portal within 7 days and we handle the claim.
