Freight forwarding service: the solution for bulky and valuable goods and documents
Not all goods can be packed into a handy package. Large, heavy and bulky goods, such as car parts, furniture and bicycles on pallets or in mesh boxes, are always transported by a forwarding company. But not everything has to be large: you can also send urgent documents by direct transport. These are often requests for urgently needed documents for shipping so that ships can enter harbours, or the time-critical dispatch of tender documents.
We organise the transport of bulky and valuable goods as well as documents both nationally and internationally. This includes transport to neighbouring European countries or long-distance transportation to any international destination overseas.

The cost of a freight forwarding transport depends heavily on what you want to send and where you want to send it to. An urgent direct shipment or the dispatch of large, bulky freight items is always associated with higher costs than a standard shipment or the dispatch of general cargo. However, the costs for customs clearance are already included in the freight costs. We recommend that you take out transport insurance for particularly valuable goods.
What does a pick-up by a freight carrier cost?
Our offers for booking a lorry transport are usually all-in prices, which means that there is no extra surcharge on top of the shipping costs when your shipment is picked up.
All you need is precise information about the contents, dimensions and weight, the collection address including collection time and the destination. If you commission a forwarding agent, the forwarder will bring the consignment notes directly with them when they collect the goods from you.
Speditionsversand bedeutet den Transport von Waren an Land über Straße und Schiene, also per LKW oder Bahn. Der LKW-Transport ist ein ein wichtiger Baustein im multimodalen Verkehr und innerhalb der Lieferkette.
Freight forwarding is the transport of goods by road and rail, i.e. by lorry or train. Road transport is an important element in multimodal transportation and within logistics, securing and maintaining existing supply chains.
Multimodal transportation is the transport of goods by two or more different modes of transport. For example, if we talk about road freight it means that trucks transport your cargo to nearby neighbouring countries. For transportation to nearby destinations, same-day delivery is sometimes possible. All you have to do is to book our ‘direct delivery‘ or our ‘general cargo transport‘ service.
Freight forwarders also play an important role in inland freight transportation. If you have booked sea freight, If you have booked ocean freight, a freight forwarder will transport your goods from the pick-up location to the port area before being loaded onto a cargo or container ship for transportation to any overseas destination.
You are not sure whether freight forwarding by lorry is the right option for your goods, or you have questions about an existing order? You can always contact our customer service team for free, personal advice and updates on the status of your shipment.
If it is not a direct transport, transportation and delivery by truck can take up to a week, depending on the destination. In addition, the goods must usually be prepared for the shipping company on a pallet or in a wire mesh box to simplify handling for the carrier and to ensure the security of your shipment during transport. On the other hand, shipping your goods by freight carrier is still one of the safest shipping methods, especially for a particularly valuable shipment.
A direct delivery is when we deliver your goods directly in a lorry, without reloading or additional loading. The transportation company you have booked will collect the goods directly from you at the requested time and deliver them directly to the recipient. This reduces transit times, minimises the risk of damage (no need to reload) and gives you more flexibility in terms of collection and delivery times.

We offer a variety of other modes of transportation on our multi-carrier platform. In addition to road freight, we offer air freight, sea freight (service only available in some countries!) and various courier services, depending on the country of origin and what you want to ship and the destination country.
