MODES OF TRANSPORT WE DEAL WITH.
WHICH ONE BEST SUITS YOUR NEEDS?
TRUCKING
Road transport is a classic and most popular method of freight carriage and remains a versatile option today, well-suited to many needs. It is universal and suits everyone.
Among the advantages of road transport are its speed for short and medium distances, its flexibility and door-to-door service. It doesn’t take long to get the logistics of road transport underway as they can be easily adapted to the requirements of a specific route and cargo while still offering a very competitive price.
In fact trucking is cheaper than air freight and faster than sea freight.
It is extremely easy and flexible.
AIR FREIGHT

Sounds interesting, right?
SEA FREIGHT
If you are setting up a business that requires transporting your product overseas, you are probably wondering if you should use ocean freight shipping or if you should use an air carrier. There are advantages and disadvantages to each method of transportation. Before you make your decision, you should be aware of the major benefits of using ocean freight. First of all, this way of transport is very economical. Hands down, the ocean shipping industry offers the most competitive freight costs to shippers, especially over long distances. Sea freight is about efficiency: oversized, heavy and bulky cargo capability. Safety of the cargo in comparison to trucking.
RAILWAY TRANSPORT
Rail transport can be cost effective.
Shipping via train is more environmentally friendly as it may ude electricity.
Trains are capable of hauling large loads.
Railways are reliable and route is well-known, process of transportation is really predictable.
Modern rail freight can be efficient, but it needs special infrastructure. With GPS tracking in trains, the goods are protected in transit and losses or theft are avoided.
As carriers are able to pinpoint the exact location of their customers’ shipments and follow up on milestones, they can also provide detailed information on container position and detect if anything unexpected happens during the transport.
