Road freight transport and delivery services

Trucks can access virtually any location that has a road network, making them highly flexible for transporting goods to both urban and rural locations. Trucks also come in many shapes and sizes, enabling you to ship just about any cargo, no matter how large, bulky, heavy, small, or fragile, over the road, either domestically, or across international land borders. In some cases, you can even ship truckloads across bodies of water if a roll-on-roll-off (RORO) ferry service is available.

Trucks are generally faster than other modes of transport, such as trains or ships, especially over shorter distances. FTL shipping is typically a faster method than LTL, simply because with FTL, the shipper has full control of the consignment whereas LTL freight must first be consolidated so it can share truck space with the goods of other shippers—and, of course, it also needs deconsolidation before delivery to its final destination. Expedited shipping, meanwhile, typically guarantees that time-sensitive goods will be delivered securely and on time, albeit at increased truck freight rates. 

Trucks can carry a wide variety of goods, including hazardous materials, heavy machinery, mining equipment, chemicals, dairy products, refrigerated goods—and a whole lot more besides. In a nutshell:  trucks can haul just about anything. Even very large items that would not typically be considered portable, such as heavy plant and industrial equipment, can be transported by road with specialized heavy haulage vehicles.
