Many companies have worked hard to develop a “preferred” LTL carrier network for their domestic and trans-boarder shipments with each supplier adhering to the specifications of shipment tender.

However, many times export and import shipments are left up to the forwarder or transfer agent to make arrangements for the “door to port” or “port to door” also known as “inland freight” therefore adding another layer of charges utilizing specialized carriage.

Specialized carriers in the export and import market utilize a completely different rationale when costing shipments. Many in the export/import market utilize a “pick-up” cost and a “delivery” cost and a “line-haul” cost from point A to point B for the particular shipment.

Allow your “preferred” LTL carrier network to handle these shipments, preserving your contracted rates and discounts and allowing complete control and transparency of your tender to or from the port.

All LTL carriers whether union or non-union are all capable of entering and existing the ports.
