Intermodal Logistics
For the past 35 years, we’ve been arranging global freight solutions for businesses of all sizes. Whether it’s truckload shipping, LTL shipping, intermodal logistics, international, or other specialty freight, we’ll handle it with the outstanding customer service and sense of urgency that you and your business deserve.
International freight forwarding involves additional layers of complexity, including customs paperwork at both ends of the journey, duties, and multi-modal transport. International freight typically travels by container ship in either FCL or LCL (less than container load) shipments or, for lighter or more valuable products, via air freight. During the COVID-19 pandemic, orders of PPE shipped by air freight.
You can work directly with a freight forwarding company to handle the paperwork and arrange transport for your goods. Or you can use a logistics services provider to manage international freight forwarding along with other 4PL services. Which option you choose will depend, at least in part, on the size of your company.
Third-Party Logistics Services (3PL)
3PL services bridge the gap between manufacturers and consumers. 3PL companies do not manufacture products, but they ensure the products remain the same in terms of quality when arriving at consumers’ locations. Logistics providers will make sure that all parties that involve in the process meet their obligation; from the moment cargo leaves a certain point until it arrives at the designated location.
