Direct road trips are almost independent of weather conditions and are much faster in time than transportation by rail.
How does the transportation of goods by truck take place?
Organization of transit by road transport includes the following stages:
1. Upon receipt of a customer's request, our specialists call to clarify the nature and volume of the shipment, supplier data, terms and conditions of shipment of goods and other information necessary to develop logistics and calculate the preliminary cost of delivery.
2. Based on the data, we prepare a quotation for possible routes, lead time, cost, transit time, delivery time to the customer's warehouse. We offer several routes to choose from so that the customer can select the most convenient route.
3. We make a selection of the most favorable tariffs for cargo transit, calculate the preliminary cost of delivery.
4. Receive requisition with sender's contacts (factory, sender's warehouse, etc.) and order number.
5. If transportation from abroad is planned, we provide an agent who will take care of picking up the shipment.
6. We conclude a contract with a proven partner - a transportation company.
7. Receive confirmation of cargo readiness, set the date of container delivery for loading and the date of cargo release.
8. Personal manager, who leads the transaction, tracks and controls the container submission, loading, actual availability of cargo documents and their compliance.
9. Prepare and forward supporting documents to the customer for inspection and, if necessary, submit a package of documents for customs clearance.
10. We track and inform the customer about the movement of the container, inform about the arrival of the cargo, specify the conditions of unloading and convenient for the customer delivery time.
11. We conclude a contract for all listed logistic procedures for road freight transportation.
What is the cost of international road freight transportation services?
Our specialists calculate the preliminary cost individually for each client based on the currently valid tariffs and rates, as well as the features and characteristics of the cargo.
The manager considers all factors that may affect the cost of transit and additional services:
- type, volume, weight, category of cargo;
- distance (kilometers) of transportation;
- country of shipment/destination;
- itinerary;
- the need for additional packaging of the shipment;
- availability of customs escort;
- road transportation tariffs;
- types and number of vehicles, etc.
Our policy is to optimize prices in the best interest of the customer. We receive up-to-date information on our partners' tariffs and promotions. Therefore, we offer our customers a cost up to 40% lower than the market average, without losing the quality of transportation.
What modes of transportation are used to transport goods over long distances?
Trucks designed to transport goods over long distances are classified according to payload capacity, number of axles and many other characteristics. The safety of the contents, the cost of transportation and the possibility of customs clearance directly depend on how correctly the carrier has chosen the cargo transport for a particular shipment.
The main characteristic when choosing a vehicle is payload capacity. This figure should correspond to the weight of the load. It is impossible to load heavy containers into a small truck, and it would not be economically feasible to transport small loads in a 10-20 ton vehicle. All the fuel consumption of a half-empty "tractor" will reflect on the "wallet" of the client with unreasonable expenses.
For the international transportation of goods by road, transportation conditions are important. Depending on the type of cargo, the following can be provided for transportation:
- single vehicles;
- road trains (tractor (truck) under a semi-trailer or trailer);
- container trucks - trailers for transportation of sea containers;
- refrigerators - a trailer equipped with a refrigeration unit;
- flatbed open trucks;
- tankers - trailers for transportation of liquid cargo;
- isometric trailers with thermal insulation;
- platforms for transportation of large machinery and other oversized cargo;
- car carriers for transportation of cars, agricultural and special equipment, etc.
What documents are required for road transportation?
Carrier SPIKO GROUP cooperates only with verified trucking companies, which work with full registration of documents for transportation and personal documents of the driver. Cargo transport is submitted for loading with a package of authorization documents, a properly executed travel certificate and trip tickets.
Our forwarders control that at loading all necessary documents for the cargo were provided: bills of lading, invoices, medical-sanitary and phytosanitary certificates, quality certificates and other documentation.
