What we move

Services

Three service lines. Each one can stand alone or connect to the others in one shipment.

In-land freight

Most shipments start and finish on land. We arrange the move between your location and the port, rail terminal or final delivery point, and keep it connected to the rest of the shipment.

What is included

  • Pickup and delivery scheduling
  • Moves between your facility and the port or rail terminal
  • Appointment coordination at each end
  • Status updates at pickup, in transit and at delivery
  • Proof of delivery returned to you

To quote, send us

Pickup and delivery addresses, cargo description, weight, number of pieces and dimensions, ready date, and any dock or equipment limits.

Ocean freight

We arrange export and import shipments by sea. We book space with ocean carriers and handle the documents that travel with your cargo.

What is included

  • Full container load (FCL): a container booked for your cargo only
  • Less than container load (LCL): your cargo shares a container with other shipments, and you pay for the space it uses
  • Space booking with ocean carriers
  • Shipping documents, including the bill of lading
  • Coordination with your customs broker at origin or destination
  • Status updates from booking to arrival

To quote, send us

Origin and destination (city or port), cargo description, weight and volume, FCL or LCL, ready date, and the Incoterm on your sale if you know it.

Containerized freight

A container move has more parts than the ocean leg. We plan the whole container cycle: empty pickup, loading, the move to the terminal, delivery and the empty return.

What is included

  • Standard dry containers: 20-foot, 40-foot and 40-foot high cube
  • Specialized containers on request, such as refrigerated, open-top and flat-rack, subject to carrier availability
  • Drayage: the truck move of a container between the port or rail terminal and your facility
  • Loading and delivery appointments
  • Free time: the carrier and terminal allow a set number of days before demurrage and detention charges apply. We confirm the free time when we book.

To quote, send us

Container size and type, number of containers, origin and destination, cargo description and weight, and the loading or delivery date.
