HOW OUR SERVICES WORK FOR YOU

  • Give us the details about your load consignment - description, tonnage, loading and delivery destinations, and any special needs, etc.
  • Our logistics team assess and verify the loads' requirements with respect to tonnage and additional services that might be required - such as escort vehicles, permits, security and so on. We value your goods and your time. When we contract to move a load we make sure that we always give solutions to any problems that may arise during transit to the destination.
  • We compile a no-obligation, comprehensive and the most cost-effective quotation for your approval.
  • We make and schedule all necessary arrangements for your load so you do not have to get involved with any of the finer complicated transportation details. The only thing you have to do is organize any insurance for your load - but we can even do that for you.
  • On the moving day we personally monitor the loading of your consignment onto the truck(s) and inspect security and confirm that any other special transport requirements are in place. If appropriate, we check to see that all cross border clearing and customs documentation is available and correct.
  • Through our network of agents along the route, we monitor and supervise your load every step of the way until its safe delivery at the final destination.
