LKW Transport Gruba Booking API
Cargoson AutomationLKW Transport Gruba doesn't provide a booking API. Cargoson automatically sends booking confirmations via email on your behalf, while you still use the same unified API interface.
Create LKW Transport Gruba shipments and retrieve shipping labels using the Queries endpoint. Bookings are send to the carrier's system in real-time and labels are generated immediately.
Query vs Direct Booking
The Queries endpoint supports two booking methods:
- Query mode - Create a transport request without specifying a carrier (yet). This allows you to manually compare carrier prices and delivery times, request new spot prices, make adjustments/updates to the shipment, and delegate carrier selection to others, before you make the final carrier selection in Cargoson.
- Direct booking - Specify a carrier service ID (from the Rate or Services API) to book directly with LKW Transport Gruba. This ensures your shipment uses the exact service you selected.
To book directly to LKW Transport Gruba, always define the direct_booking_service_id.
/queries
Create a shipment query or direct booking for LKW Transport Gruba. Include direct_booking_service_id to create an immediate booking.

LKW Transport Gruba Courier Requests
Cargoson AutomationCargoson automates courier pickup requests for LKW Transport Gruba shipments, which makes it one less task you will need to think about.
How Cargoson Handles Courier Requests
Many shipping carriers require you to create labels separately and then manually request courier pickup. Others do not have a separate label plus courier call system, and each shipment is a complete, separate shipment. We believe that there should be a single standard of carrier APIs, but currently, each carrier creates their own unique system, which makes it difficult for their users to remember each one's quirks and intricacies. Cargoson simplifies your courier calls by treating every shipment holistically: courier requests are automatically managed as part of the booking process.
Smart Pickup Optimization
Cargoson optimizes courier calls to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
- 1. Batch consolidation - Multiple shipments from the same location are grouped into a single pickup request
- 2. Carrier-specific handling - Some carriers include pickup in the booking, others require separate requests. Cargoson handles both variants automatically for you
- 3. Regular pickup schedules - Configure prescheduled pickups at specific intervals (e.g., daily to my main warehouse at 3 PM) and Cargoson will skip individual courier calls entirely
Benefits
- No need to track which carriers require separate courier requests
- Automatic optimization prevents unnecessary pickup calls
- Support for regular pickup schedules
- Simplified shipping workflow - just create the booking
Configuration
Courier pickup automation is enabled by default for all LKW Transport Gruba shipments. To configure regular pickup schedules or custom pickup optimization rules, contact [email protected].
LKW Transport Gruba Services API
Cargoson EngineThe Services API is a Cargoson-provided feature that returns a unified list of all available services from LKW Transport Gruba and other carriers in your network. This allows you to dynamically display shipping options to your customers without hardcoding service IDs.
Retrieve a list of available LKW Transport Gruba shipping services. Use service IDs when making direct bookings to ensure you get the exact service you want.
/services/list
Return list of LKW Transport Gruba services available on your company account.

Why use Cargoson API for LKW Transport Gruba integration
Integrating directly with LKW Transport Gruba's native API means wrestling with carrier-specific documentation, handling unique data formats, and maintaining separate code for each provider. Cargoson offers a single unified RESTful API that supports LKW Transport Gruba and 2,000+ carriers across European and North American markets, with new integrations added weekly. We reduce development time from months to days, handle carrier updates automatically, and manage regional exceptions. With Cargoson, you focus on growing your business instead of managing carrier technical complexities.
Benefits of integrating LKW Transport Gruba via Cargoson API
One API for all carriers
Replace dozens of separate carrier integrations with one connection to LKW Transport Gruba and 2,000+ other providers via Cargoson API. No more maintaining multiple authentication systems, handling different data formats, or updating code when carriers change their endpoints.
Clear documentation and support
Access straightforward API documentation with working code examples, detailed parameter descriptions, and clearly-defined endpoints. Our support team knows the logistics industry and can help you solve integration challenges quickly.
Code examples in multiple languages
Get started immediately with ready-to-use code examples in cURL, JavaScript, Python, PHP, and Ruby. Copy, paste, and adapt them to your stack, no need to figure out authentication, request formatting, or error handling from scratch.
Real support from logistics experts
Get help from people who understand shipping, not just APIs. Whether you're troubleshooting an integration issue or need advice on the best way to handle international shipments, our team is here to help.
World's most advanced freight pricing engine
Cargoson's freight pricing API goes far beyond simple rate lookups. Our engine can read, analyze, and digitize any carrier pricelist regardless of format or structure, making it the most powerful freight rate management solution in the logistics industry.
Universal format support
Our freight pricing engine handles any format: structured Excel files, complex PDFs, free text, or even handwritten pricelists. Upload your carrier contracts in any format, and our freight rate engine will parse the pricing rules, surcharges, and conditions automatically.
Direct carrier API integration
For carriers with modern systems (typically global parcel carriers and tech-forward freight companies), we pull rates directly from their APIs in real-time. This ensures you always get the most current pricing without manual updates.
Public online prices
Don't have a contract with a carrier yet? No problem. Cargoson can pull public online prices from carriers, allowing you to compare options even before establishing formal agreements.
Spot rate requests
For complex shipments or special cases, request spot rates where carriers review your specific requirements and provide a custom quote. All managed through the same unified API.
