How it works
How we handle transportation
-
01
Load and route assessment
Cargo type, weight and destination determine the vehicle and route, not the other way round.
-
02
Vehicle allocation
Own fleet or partner capacity is allocated against your required date.
-
03
Terminal and depot coordination
Port, ICD and CFS timings are coordinated so the vehicle is not waiting.
-
04
Movement
Cargo moves under agreed documentation with a defined handover point.
-
05
Delivery and proof
Delivery is completed and confirmed against the instruction.
Before we can quote
What we need from you
You can send an enquiry without all of it, but each missing item usually costs a round trip before you have a usable rate.
- Pickup and delivery addresses
- Cargo weight, dimensions and whether it is containerised
- Required collection and delivery dates
- Any access restriction — road width, height, timing
Pricing
What moves the cost
So a quote is not a black box. These are the factors that actually change the number on a transportation shipment.
- Distance and route class
- Vehicle type and whether a return load is possible
- Waiting time at ports, ICDs or CFS
- Tolls, permits and state-level charges
