Road / Land Transport
Road transport remains the backbone of domestic logistics – in 2020 alone, trucks in the U.S. moved over 10 billion tons of goods. Our road freight services cover everything from local drayage to long-haul trucking across regions, ensuring a reliable flow of goods by land.
Choose the right trucking option for your needs. We offer full truckload (FTL) for large shipments, less-than-truckload (LTL) for smaller loads, and specialized equipment like flatbeds for oversize cargo or refrigerated trucks for perishables. This flexibility means cost-effective ground transport for shipments of any size.
Fast transit times and frequent departures define our ground network. For urgent deliveries, expedited trucking or hot-shot services are available, while standard and deferred shipping options provide economical choices when time allows. We also accommodate shipments on weekends or off-peak hours to meet tight schedules.
Our team manages all routing, scheduling, and carrier coordination, including cross-border road shipments. We navigate regulatory requirements, permits for oversize loads, and safety compliance, giving you a hassle-free overland shipping experience.
Throughout the journey, shipments are monitored closely. GPS-enabled trucks and status updates provide visibility into your freight’s location. With robust contingency plans and a vast carrier base, we ensure unforeseen events (weather, road closures) have minimal impact on your delivery.
Benefits to Your Business:
- Door-to-Door Convenience: Direct truck transport takes your goods from origin to final destination without intermediate handling. This reduces transit time and potential damage, especially for short to medium distances.
- Flexible and Scalable: Ground transport adapts easily to your volume and schedule. Add or remove trucks as demand fluctuates, route shipments to multiple destinations, or schedule last-minute pickups – the versatility of road logistics supports your dynamic business needs.
- Cost-Effective for Regional Shipping: Trucking often provides the best value for domestic and regional distribution, particularly for distances under ~750 miles. You save on costs compared to air, while still achieving faster delivery than ocean or rail for nearer markets.
- Complete Control & Visibility: Enjoy high transparency with real-time tracking of trucks and regular communication. You maintain control over timing with the option to adjust routes or schedules if needed, resulting in a more responsive supply chain.
- Integrated with Other Modes: Road freight serves as a critical link in multimodal transport. We seamlessly connect trucks with rail, air, or ocean legs, so your supply chain flows smoothly – for example, delivering containers from port to warehouse or providing last-mile delivery from rail hubs.
