Road freight on Lyon to Kyiv is booked as FTL (a full truck for one shipper) or LTL and groupage (you pay for the pallet places you use). FTL is faster and safer for high value goods; groupage is cheaper for a few pallets but adds consolidation time. The trip crosses from France into Ukraine, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, plus export and import declarations at the border.
