Road Freight

Road Freight

Port drayage, inland haulage, and cross-border trucking that connect the quay to the warehouse and the store.

Service overview

How we handle Road Freight

The quay is not the destination. We arrange drayage, bonded trucking, and cross-border road moves that connect ports to warehouses and stores. Terminal appointments, gate hours, and waiting time are priced into the file so demurrage is not a surprise. Where bonded transit is available, we keep the cargo under customs control until the inland point of clearance. Proof of delivery, waiting time, and any accessorials are written back to the shipment so finance and operations see the same record.
