A forwarding company facilitates the connection between the companies that want to transport goods by road and the transport companies that own car parks.

But as you will see, in such a dynamic market as transport, the forwarding company`s mission is much more complex and it is not limited to a simple intermediator.

An experienced forwarding company can generate extra savings by choosing the best transport offers thanks to its extensive base of domestic and international collaborators.

Thus, to optimize and reduce costs it’s important to choose the right partner, based on the following criteria:

3. Dedicated team to you expeditions

It’s highly important for your prospective forwarding company to possess a wide base of collaborators within a country as well as outside.

Due to the forwarding company `s position between demand (you) and offer (hundreds or even thousands of carriers with their own car parks), one can work out the most efficient transport solutions, depending on the following variables:

• The specifics of the goods you want to deliver: palletized or in bulk; perishable or not; general or dangerous(ADR);
• The characteristics of the goods you want to transport: height, length, width, volume, weight, etc.;
• How to load / unload goods: top or side (tarpaulin truck); through the back (truck with tarpaulin / box) etc .;
• Specific transport conditions: controlled temperature, ambiental temperature, etc.;
• Number of drivers: one driver or crew;
• Other special requirements: sanitation of the truck for transporting food, the need for non-slip mats, etc.

We have prepared an article in which we have classified the types of trucks according to several criteria (body type, tonnage, load capacity, type of goods transported).

A forwarding company constantly monitors the history and activity of the carriers it collaborates with so that the beneficiaries can have sufficient guarantees regarding the following aspects:

• They all have valid and paid-on-time insurance policies
• There is no history of theft, accidents, unauthorized transshipment of goods or depalletization of transported goods, etc.;
• The delivery of the goods to the destination respects the predetermined time.

A forwarding company can guarantee significant savings, both for the beneficiary companies and for the transport companies they work with. Here are a number of questions and answers that can clarify this aspect:

Will the beneficiary company bear the costs of returning the empty truck?

Let`s discuss an example: if there is a transportation of goods from Iasi to Giurgiu, a beneficiary company will support costs only for transporting cargoes to the destination. To return the truck, a forwarding company can find and allocate another load, so it won’t be empty on a way to the back.

What happens if the goods do not occupy the entire space of the truck? (LTL)

In case if a beneficiary company wants to transport approximately 5t of goods, on a truck that is capable to load 20t, a forwarding company will find other companies with cargo to be transported on the same route, so the truck can be fully loaded.

With us, you can get benefits from the best road transport to deliver cargoes from point A to point B, regardless of its type:

• Domestic or International road transport trucks
• Road transport of temperature controlled goods
• Road transport of oversized goods trucks
• Road transport of dangerous goods trucks

We provide both FTL (full truckload) and LTL (Less Than Truckload) transport through our extensive network of partners, in the EU as well as in the non-EU area.

EU destinations we can deliver your goods to: Germany, Italy, France, Benelux, Poland, Hungary, Spain, Slovakia etc.

In addition to numerous destinations we perform, we can also realize your destination.

Non-EU destinations where we operate, through local partners: Ukraine, Russian Federation, Turkey, Kazahstan etc.

It’s very important to establish a flexible partnership with a forwarding company that can adapt its activity to fit the client`s needs and expectations.

We draw your attention to this issue because an effective delivery of goods can be also managed through other related services, offered by the forwarding company. For example transshipment, storage of goods, as well as other auxiliary logistics activities.
